So, issue: I've been informed there aren't supposed to be any bolts going into the pontoons. Sure enough, my workshop manual doesn't mention them. Did some idiot add these? Passenger side: http://www.ryanwright.com/tmp/dfascia1.jpg Viewed from the top: http://www.ryanwright.com/tmp/dfascia2.jpg The nylon loc-nuts on this side have been loosened all the way to the end of the bolts. They were easy to get to - just removed the carbon canister and put a 10mm wrench on each side. Driver's side: http://www.ryanwright.com/tmp/dfascia3.jpg Here you can see the length of the bolts. This is what the passenger's side looked like before I loosened these nuts. So, these aren't stock, eh? I guess we have to get back to my original question, then: How do I get that intake tube out of the right pontoon so I can reach these bolts? -Ryan On 12/17/06, Ryan Wright <ryanpwright@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Need some help in removing the rear fascia. > > Primarily, I cannot get to the bolts on the right (passenger) side > that hold the fascia to the right pontoon.
