    Wings and Firewall removal...

    Hi All,

    Can the firewall be removed without removing the from wings? The protrusions that the 12x180 bolts go through are stopping me from lifting it straight up....

    Can I angle it back and get it free? What have other people done?

    This is the part I'm talking about:



    I moved the wings out of the way but the firewall is still stuck between the chassis and the support C beam that the seat box bolts onto... and so does the B pillar.. and.. and..

    IIRC there are two more bolts on each side which connect the firewall to the sill rails. Have a look underneath.

    IIRC arent there are a couple of bolts to the chassis rails on the engine side of the footwells at the rear of the wheelarch.

    I didn't think we had wings on Land Rovers in Australia. we have mudguards!

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    It will when the turbs is fitted

    All bolts are out, the firewall can be moved around freely - It's being blocked from being lifted up by the chassis and the the frame that the seat box bolts onto... I've removed the alignment washers...
