Got a bit stuck. im fitting new boot struts and the ones that i got i need to move the pin for the struts that is on the boot hinges. there is already a hole there for them. But how do i get the pin off? i tried a pair of vice grips and unscrewing it and it did not undo. anyone come across this before? cheers jason
they are the correct ones =). on the vt's there is two spots for pins on the hinge. unsure but other models maybe the same. there is twostypes of struts. ones for spoilers one for boots without spoilers. i need to shift the pin location to the other hole in the boon hinge (both sides) so i can then fit the correct struts (the ones i have). trouble is i can figure out how to remove the pins so i can fit them to the other hole thats already there........
if they're the correct struts then they'll bolt in to the current position. if you've added a spoiler, the length is still the same, but stronger support. try taking out the rubber stoppers to open the boot further
The pins look pressed in to me. They certainly don't unscrew. The pin goes right through the hinge and you would have to grind that knob off to remove it. But I still don't see why that should be necessary.
