Not too sure if this has been discuss before, but how do I remove my front bar? Also what tools would I need, and where can I get them from?

Thanks

Any suggestion would be appreciated.

its really easy man....people make such a big deal about removing it....its only a few bolts!

Take out the screw things on top of the grille.....there is a bolt in each wheel well....and a few bolts on the bottom of the bar......i think that about it....a philips head and an adjustable spanner can do it fine.

umm....not that i can remember..

here are some links to make CTR style headlights...which require removal of the front bar and lights...note that they wont be extremely relevant...but you can decipher what you need from them.

link 2 (http://www.torontocivics.com/articles/headlights/headlights.html)

...i used to have more links....but some of them died over the years.

good luck!


PS- i did the CTR style headlights....and it worked very well...

cheers
