inner wheel arch removal

Hi,

I am trying to remove the passenger side front inner wheel arch so i can replace the antenna.

I have removed all the screws holding the outer wheel arch trim (clipper trim) and have removed all the screws (4-5), holding the inner wheel arch. When i try and move it though it does move a little but still seems firmly fixed. I dont wanna get heavy with it in case i damage something so am wondering if there is anything else i need to do? :dontknow:

Cheers

jez

once all the screws are removed u need to get a small screwdriver or summin simillar and pry the middle of it away from the inner arch as it catches abit, it just requires being abit forceful but it wont break... fingers crossed :wink:

Once you have removed the screws then you can gently pull the inner arch away from the clipper trim and bend it out of the way. You can rest on the springs to keep it out of the way. Quite flexible.

Picture below, to give you an idea.

The white wire is one I pulled through wih the old lead, this was then used to pull the new lead through. Did it this way just to reduce the chance of snagging as it goes through the back of the dash. One quite tight spot just behind the glove box on myn but with patience it went through eventually.

dont forget to put all the rubber bungs back as well. good luck.
