Thread: Struck another hurdle

    Struck another hurdle

    I was changing the vac hoses on my cruise this morning. I wanted to take of the panel underneath the steering column when lo and behold the plastic caps that have to be taken off have been glued on.

    I pried them of and some blue glue has been stuck to them. I cant see if they are bolts are screws to take the panel off. I was trying to replace the long hose but cant get the panel off.

    Any ideas as to what to do and, is this normal.

    cross head screw heads if original, I have encountered 8mm ( I think ) hex heads. They are never very tight, should be a very easy task to get that panel off. The finishing covers over the screws should pop off exposing the screw heads

    That's why I thought the PO may have glued them in

    Rounded out to an even zero. I got rid of them long ago.

    Pete38 is winning. You can buy them, but I haven't given it would stand me close to $100.
