I had a fight with mine recently - I found a bit of silicone spray , grab the end with a pair of pliers , give them a good pull downwards , and wiggle side-to side , and they popped straight in :roll:

In the m...

I've just realised it's been a while since an update , and progress seems slow at the moment - the weather has not been too helpful recently , and the small jobs always take at least 3 times as long as you expect :roll: The problem with painting the whole shell is that as soon as you refit anything ...

I'm a bit surprised you did not go coilovers on the rear as well as the front? It will look too good to drive when you are done! :albino: I did consider coilovers on the back too , but there are certain issues I believe in doing this to a SWB car.
