i'm taking to pieces my 1989 landrover 90 ready for a rebuild. I'm just wandering what is the easiest way to take of the front wings? i had a go today but i can't access some of the bolts that attach the wings to the bulkhead? Any ideas would be great!

Thanks.

You're gonna have some fun doing a rebuild if takin the wings off has brought you to a halt. All the wing bolts are accessible you might need some longish extensions in your socket set but they're easy enough to get at really.

Its easy mate. As said, use some extensions on your socket (13mm). Don,t do what i done. Cut out rusty door pillars, flung them out, welded in new pillars (made a crackin job of that by the way, proud of maself), attempt to refit wings and realise you've binned the captive nuts as well. So therefor have decided......I AM A TIT

Assuming youve removed the rubber wheel arch liners its easy if youve got a couple of extension bars.
