martingraham 21 Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 Trying to get the motor or to do a rebuild and the AC is everywhere. Is it more hassle than its worth to just remove it. I won't be needing it anyway. Link to post Share on other sites
daveyboy 897 Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 I removed the AC from mine when I swapped the engine. Link to post Share on other sites

martingraham 21 Posted May 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 Great, is it done in any particular way or just unbolt it all . I'll be glad to see the end of all that stupid pipe work Link to post Share on other sites
daveyboy 897 Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 When you've got engine out is the easiest way to get to the pipe work. Have you took the whole front panel off to remove your engine? Link to post Share on other sites
pappers 50 Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 Just done this on my 24v engine. Ordered non ac belt and remooooved. Link to post Share on other sites
martingraham 21 Posted May 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 Getting the front off is starting to test me. Are there any hidden screws I should be looking for? Link to post Share on other sites
daveyboy 897 Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 No mate its a piece of piss. Remove the grille and there's 3 10mm bolts on top of the bumper and 4 on the underside where your number plate is. Remove the bumper obviously unclip the front fogs and indicators. Undo the bonnet release cable and under the slam panel there's a round multi plug for your lights ect twist that to get apart. Unclip the plugs from the fans remove the top and bottom rad pipes. I split the air con pipe from slam panel next to the passenger headlight. Next undo the 2 bolts at the front of wings either side then undo the 4 13mm bolts where the crash bar is bolted to the chassis legs then the front panel should just pull off Link to post Share on other sites
