anyone know how to get these out? they're like big plastic rivots, i didn't want to mess them about too much incase they broke, it's down by my pedals so i didn't want carpet hanging round my legs when i'm trying to brake...

so to sum up, how do i get them off and then can they just be put back again without replacing them etc

any help is much apreciated

come on people???? i know it's not as exciting as normal posts but i still need to know before the weekend preferably.

AFAIK, your talking about the round plastic thingies approx 1" in dia. If that is what it is then all you need to do is unscrew them from the threaded posts that are welded to the bulkhead. Tip is to get a large old chisel, take the edge off and grind a channel in the centre to accommodate the stud. Failing that, a pair of needle nose pliers will do the job. A bit more tricky but once freed off you will be able to unscrew it with your fingers.

OR... if they are the little ones that are about a CM in diameter.... they usually just pop out with a screw driver or plyers.

and if you do break one.... jus rob one from the passenger side for the time being! hehe

yeah the plastic ones unscrew, Then under them are Metal ones, These also unscrew

the ones that are under where the rear passenger seat is menta be pop out, there are three right on the edge, the ones that are behind the pedels on the front unscrew likewise on teh passengers side and i think thats it :^) hope that helps
