How do you take of Landcruiser fibreglass flares?

Post by Emo »

Looking at trying to repair my GXL Landcruiser fibreglass front flare. It bolts on at either end but look like it has three or four other attachments. I thought they might just be those push on plastic clips but when I tried to pull it off there was the distinct sound of ripping fibreglass.

On the inner guard under the bonnet or up under the tyre?

Thanks by the way.

Pull the park light out and you will see the nut, to get to the rear one stick yor hand through inner guard near firewall and you will feel it.

Thats not what you want to hear, the bolts are attached to little bits of fibreglass that don't take much to break. I've broken mine a coulpe of times and tried hot glueing them back on with some success. You can't see what dodgy work is behind them :twisted:
