Waxoyling inner wheel arches

Post by binky » Mon May 16, 2011 4:22 pm

The bus is nearly ready for the road, the Waxoyl bought. I can get at the inner sills from underneath, but I have a side kitchen conversion. Can I get at the inner arches without pulling the kitchen out? It's a 1998 'Facelift' V6.

To remove the clusters....remove 2 x crosshead screws and "push" the cluster sidways. Do NOT try and pull it backwards

Don't forget to pull the seat belts fully out and tie them up so that only the part that is left behind gets oily, not the part that goes over your rear passengers' clothes ( not a bad idea even if the back is already converted, someone might want to convert it back some day).
