Firstly - apologies... I have searched to see if this has been dealt with before and ended up with 39 pages of freelander and Suzuki information...
Stupid question time...
Changing a rear door spare wheel mount on a Disco - do the bolts from the outside go into captive nuts on the inside, or do I need to remove the trim panel and then get a spare pair of hands to assist?
If they are captive - happy days, will happen later... if the trim has to come off, then it's waiting until I chequerplate the door.
Many thanks all

had to remove the inside trim panel on mine rob

No captive nuts on the rear door but you can change the wheel mount on your own, if you have long arms. ;)

I attempted my old one on my own, ended up getting my son to help though. Rear trim had to come off.

Many thanks everyone - I had already worked out that trying to do it on my own would probably involve having face pressed up hard against the rubber seal and arms at full extension... :shock:
Planning on chequerplating the rear door at some stage so as to give a good solid mount to hang the hi-lift from (inside, away from prying eyes...)
Ta muchly for the responses though - plenty of other jobs that I can be getting on with (like rear pads... dontcha just love that grinding paste at Sibbertoft!)
