plastic trims that hide the clutch pipes and top of bulkhead
Posted: Thu Jun 02, 2016 8:13 am
Am going to attempt to debug a clutch problem on my father's 2.1 this weekend.
Had a look the other evening and there's a two part plastic trim that meets below the plastic trim that is at the bottom of the windscreen. It looks like a drip trim to deflect water from running down the engine side of the bulkhead. As you look at the engine bay, the LHS trim prevents access to the back of the pedal housing and the RHS trim has the hydraulic pipe behind it.
I don't want to assume that I just force it off what appear to be metal lugs and break it. Is there a technique?
Anyone that has done a hydraulic clutch must have had to remove these trims, yet the Haynes book of lies doesn't even comment on them existing!
Thanks.
