How To Remove R33 Gts25t Series 1 Front Bar?

[Peter]

Hi!

I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to remove the front bar off an R33 Series 1?

I have searched the forums and found instructions for the Series 2, but not 1.....

Also, I will be installing a FMIC, so if anyone has any hints or tips it would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Pete

Remove inner guard from each wheel arch

Remove 2 screws on each side (in wheel arch) that attach front bar to front guard

Undo electrical connections to front bar indicators

Remove one nut and one bolt on each chassis rail that attach front bar reo to rail

Slide bar (with reo attached) forward

Done

There are also some tricky little plastic clips under each headlight glass between them & the top of the bumper . You need to slide in a thin piece of metal or a thin screwdriver to get the clip to release.

Not if you use the method I just outlined. You are talking about removing the bar and leaving the reo in place (makes life harder). It is much easier to remove the bar from the reo with the whole lot (bar and reo) removed.

Thanks alot Lazy-Bastard & colgf, I'll give it a go and see how it goes......I am worried though as Haynes Manuals normally start with "Simply remove....." which often turns out to be a massive job!

Apologies for my stupidity by what is the reo?

Cheers

On another note... most my clips have been snapped, and the latest retarded kid on a bike who plowed into my car snapped my last one. Any idea where you can get them from? Nissan?

EDIT: Reo is the reinforcement bar.
