I think they are 15mm nuts or maybe 14mm can't recall -------------------- R.I.P.

Take the pressed pin out. I used channel ox to muscle it out, and then when it was out enough I used a doorpanel removal tool (u could prolly just use a screw driver) to finish prying the pin out. No special tricks or anything, just some muscle will do you. You might wanna take the assebmly out anyway so you can hammer the pin back in when you wan to replace it... unless you have big forearms. -------------------- '89 - Boss Coupe '70 - Drop Cutthang '68 - Cougnut '87 - 0166, Its real Posts: 3953 | From: Thebay | Registered: Jul 2002  |  :
