Doghouse Removal???


CO54

Recommended Posts

Finally getting started on my C1, and I've searched the forum, watched 48Dodger's youtube videos, looked through the manual I have too.  Just trying to figure out all the main attachment points I need to make sure I get removed, before rounding up extra hands to pull it off.  Does the radiator support have to come out with it all?  Any tricks or gotcha's that I should know about?

Any, and all insight is appreciated. 

Thanks

Eric

Dog house usually refers to the front sheet metal, fenders, inner fenders, grill and radiator support as a complete assembly as opposed to removing individual pieces except for the first removing the hood.  I am pretty sure that the cars have 13 fasteners attaching the assembly to the firewall and frame.  Make sure you get all the wires detached and labeled.

Was able to pull the dog house with the removal of 6 major bolts and 2 minor ones.  2 bolts inside the door jambs going into front fenders, 2 bolts under the radiator support going through frame cross member for the major bolts.  Also had 2 minor bolts from inner fender to tabs on the frame.  Then it was lift and walk forward, it does help to have the front wheels off.
