Title: How to remove the Disco 1 Spare wheel Carrier...
Post by: hrox on March 09, 2008, 13:29:01
hey all,   Any ideas how you remove the Disc 1 spare wheel carrier?   i have gone to undo te bolts and once lose they just dont seem to want to come out...  all 6 of them.  I was wondering if theres any bolts on the inside of the door before i go ripping the interiour out to get at what might not be there that and the fact it will break the second i tug on it!


Thx in advance

I think you have to take the trim off the door and work from the inside

Do it on a warm day and prise the pegs off with a paint scraper.

yep door card off, ask a mate to hold the spanner on one side while you use one on the other. much easier..  ;)

Don't bother replacing them, just go for a chequer plate rear door card!

try and save the origanal ones if you can the replacements are a little bit smaller and not as secure but will do the job but if can reuse old one that will be best
