Removing Front Wings on Mk2

Post by cranwellpoacher »

Hi Folks. Just a quicky.

Are front wings difficult to remove without damaging?
Can wings be removed with arch spats still fitted or will they need removing?
Any advice/tips to removing wings?

Thanks in advance :pilot:

Unbolting is straightforward.
You can leave kit on.
Only difficulty is slicing through the heavy duty glue at the a pillar end Andy when all bolts off, that's where damage can occur at top trailing edge of wing where it lines up with bonnet and screen.

Patience. It must be easy, I've done it.

Blow torch or heat gun to soften the seam sealer on the a pillar, and don't rush
