Yep the rear door panel has 2 come off and the 6 nuts will be smack in the middle.

Held on with 6 nuts and bolts, so unfortunately the inner card has to be removed to gain access to the nuts.

Had to remove the spare wheel carrier bracket on mine last week due to it being badly corroded.

At 6'5" I have long arms BUT the rear door panel is pop riveted chequer plate so this job has gone right to the bottom of the list!!

Thanks all.
