FW Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Drill the rivet-out underneath the steering block and hey presto. Though the thing is Kev, if you only want to replace the exhaust and ir filter you're probably best just cleaning up the original holes and push-in the new parts with a bit of glue on the end, because the bonnet will always be loose unless you glue that cak on, but you'll still see the drill holes. So I'd be more inclined to leave the bonnet on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 only way i know of without breaking the bonnet arround the dash area is as fw said , very fine drill pop the rivet out, and glue it back on after, i know what you mean about the air filterm, they are actually screw on from underneath, as i found out by accident, need to replace one on mine at some point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGU Posted July 17, 2007 Author Share Posted July 17, 2007 What about the exhaust? that won't be easy to drill out as it is oval?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FW Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 What about the exhaust? that won't be easy to drill out as it is oval?? Don't drill it just get it clean enough to firmly push the new one in. Try filing it or just even a small screwdriver will do the trick and just get the old plastic out the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 the exhaust is a screw fixing to i think from underneath kev, you can get the bonnet to tip upwards if you gently prise it front the front above the metal work, but watch the dash area as you tilt it, tends to break it arround there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BGU Posted July 19, 2007 Author Share Posted July 19, 2007 Just looked at a catalogue and the exhaust I have is for the 4wd version. It should be black on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
