Jay762 Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 These come off really easily remove the plugs from under the car. then gently pull working from one end, the unit is held by panel plugs mounting holes in car I did coat the pins with a layer of red grease prior to refitting due to there being rubber washers in-between the metal surface and the pin and to make it easier to remove next time 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Nice write up Jay and loads of pictures. Great for people like me :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted August 26, 2013 Author Share Posted August 26, 2013 I always find other peoples write ups like this useful - Petes boost gauge tap off for instance - so I try and catalogue stuff as I do it. pulled a plug out today as well and found it was a denso iridium tough - which was nice :D 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rollamite Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Exactly what i need, i just need the actual plugs, the eBay ones dont separate at the top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Might go through the forums and bunch these up and have them pinned like you said with Pete's what you think ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted August 27, 2013 Author Share Posted August 27, 2013 Yup would be a good idea - a how to section for example wrt the pins I have just measured them and the larger ones are similar to these but 'T' = 25mm http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SUBARU-bumper-panel-fasteners-clips-plastic-trim-CLIP-/280774231952?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Car+Make%3ASubaru&hash=item415f72c790 The smaller one is similar to this however 'T' = 20mm http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FIX122-SCREW-RIVET-FITS-6-5mm-HOLE-FIXING-CAR-TRIM-BODY-PANEL-CLIP-x25-/321059520211?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4ac0a37ed3 The panel pins resemble these but I cannot measure those at this point http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Car-Body-Panel-Trim-Clips-Green-8mm-Hole-x-10-/150899657700?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2322520be4 I do have some of the first example as they hold the front spoiler in place - somewhere... I could stick a couple in the post to see if they will do the job? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAVIDTOLAND Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 very informative :-) thank you , I have the basic black plastic ones on my car and I saw a MK1 impreza with "CARBON FIBRE" effect sides I was thinking of changing mine for the same carbon look and i think I will now as it will save me paying out labour charges to my garage by doing a bit of D.I.Y. happy days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
