R34 Gtr Front Bar Removal

[sewid]

Sooo.. im pulling the front bar off the GTR but am stuck on how to get at the last four bolts (2 on each side). The bolts are apparently in the wheel arch and connect the front bar to the front guards or body.

I cant seem to remove the inner plastic wheel arch guard either as it appears to be bolted on at the same place.

I have an excerpt from the workshop manual on how to do it but its useless. It just says "undo the bolts"! I cant even see them

So I figure if I can get the inner plastic front guard out i can see the bolts but i cant seem to get that out.. Anyone done this before?

Thanks

You have to pull the inner plastic guard off to get to them Kris .

the rear one you may get without pulling it off but the front one ( just a little further back from the h/light ) you need to have the inner plastic liner off , or at least part off tpo get to it .

They 10mm hex bolts and they have a phillips head , if they not to tight you can get then with a screwdriver .

You have to take the lower lip off as well , so take that off first .

Yeah I have the lip off and all the visible bolts and clips out of the inner plastic guard but the thing wont come out. I'll try some more ideas next chance I get. Thanks for the help.

It just sits inside the bar , pull the bar out a little from the bottom rear corner so you can pull the inner liner off . Pay attention how it sits in there so you can reinstall the same way .

I think it's pretty much the same as the GTT. I used the biggest phillips head I had and unscrewed the bolts but then it still appears to be stuck.

What's happening is that the screws/bolts go through these plastic clips and push them outwards thus holding them in tight. When you undo the bolts the plastic doesn't immediately go back to it's easy to pull through shape because the bolts have been in there for years.

You can either pull them through with some force or reach right up and squeeze them from above with your fingers before pulling the front bar down.
