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! :twisted:

It will when the turbs is fitted :twisted:

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...
