Chris from bucks build

[miket]

I hope there's no iva issue with venting tank to air 'cos it's as per Build Guide... "If you do [remove canister] then you can leave the pipe open after the check valve on the tank to allow for evaporation without a vacuum forming."

Sorry - I've no experience of air bag issue.

Thanks miket think I can figure out the air bag issue I'm going to try excessive force !!!

Just unbolt it from under the dash after removing glove box.. no force needed.. 1/2 volt will set air bag off..
not a play toy after out..keeps kids away..

Hi Dave I'm in Aylesbury. Be great to get together email me [e-mail]

With the axle nuts. leave wheels on just remove center caps.. That way you have the weight of the car and brake system
to stop wheels from spinning..The nuts are staked down knock it up.. I use an old screwdriver ground down to fit in slot.
It must be 40 years old now.. A good 4 foot pipe on end of breaker bar helps.. air impact works most of time if you have one..

thanks gwnwar got the axle bolts loose!!! Next question what is this ? 

[chrisbucks1]

do I need to use these connections in the Exocet ?

[chrisbucks1]

Quick question I undid the rear axle bolts do I need to do the front ones as well if so is there a trick to get dustcaps off.

[Stiggy]

the rear ones do not need to be removed but the front hubs need to be removed to fit the wings stays behind them. You may need to dent the dust caps to get them off but as long as you do not puncture them you should be able to get them back in shape.

[gwnwar]

Use a small chisel between the cap and hub. keep going side to side to move it. Then keep tapping it off or grab it with
a large pair of water pump pliers or pliers made for grease caps removal and work it off. If you are going to powder coat
the rear parts you will need axle nut off/loose to take apart..
