Series 2a Front Wing Removal

(1/2) > >>

Northmead:
Hello All,

This might seem a really daft question but please how do you remove the front wings on a series 2a landrover.

This is my first attempt at restoring a land rover and I have undone all the bolts that I can find but the inner mud shields will not come loose nor will the wings themselves come loose.

Can anybody give me step by step instructions on where I am going wrong.

Are there any concealed bolts that I have not undone. I have a bucket full of nuts and bolts but the wings are still on there solid.

Desparate please Help.


Yours in advance.

Brian.

Have you removed the bolts from the front panel . And the door piller and across the top of the bulkhead . there may be one or two on the bulkhead to chassis bracket . Disconect the wires and give it a good shove to break the rust seal . Now look to see whats still got it and remove these bolts . repeat untill it comes off . ......Al

Litch:
For step by step instructions you can't really do better than a manual (Haynes is fine), even if they don't do a step by step seqeunce of yor paticular job they include exploded pictures so you can see where all the fixings are.
Their Series manuals cover the S11A.

First of all remove the inner wing mudshield: This comprises of four bolts that attach it to the footwell and three at the top that attach it to the wing. ( If it is the drivers side remember that there is the Steering box cover to remove as well)

Next is to remove the wiring that attaches the side and indicator lamps to the main loom. on the drivers side, remember that on the drivers side the loom is attached to the inner wing.

Then remove the bolts that are between the wing and the bulkhead going verticaly. These are captive so should be a case of unscrewing them using a large screwdriver. ( NB It is a tight fit between the wing skin and the footwell small hands and being ambedextrous helps!)

Next up is to remove the bolts that hold the wing onto the front panel. Ususal method if they are rusted is with a 4 inch angle grinder. (leave one just on so to prevent the wing sagging down and bending.)

then whilst down there, remove the bolt between the wing and the bulkhead support bracket.

Then on top of the wing next to the bulkhead, there is a few bolts that hold the wing on.

After removing all these ( not forgetting the one left on the front) A good firm shove and a lift should see the front wing liberated from the vehicle.

A Good website to help you in your restoraton is the The Land-Rover Series 2 Club Go on to the main site and then onto the forum link and join up. There is lots of infomation and plenty of people willing to offer their advice.
