Neglected Dizzy Cap - Page 2

As said, normal 8mm spanner is best, 20 mins max job done.

Once the bolts were loosened on mine, they unscrewed very easily. A neglected car might be harder if the bolts remain tight.

I hope I'm not teaching people to suck eggs but I suppose you all know that the bonnet can go vertical if you shift the stop clips at the hinges, gives you that little bit more room for a job like this.

That sounds about right, it took me 25 mins or so .....I was able to unscrew by hand once the bolts were loosened......just not the most enjoyable job in the world.

I didn't know about that bonnet trick ......thanks mate.
