==Procedure== '''1. Remove roll over bar shroud (Longtail S2)''' Inside the cabin, behind each seat there is an 8mm allen bolt vertically holding the shroud on. Undo these. Don’t drop them or you’ll end up having to take the seats out to retrieve them....Undo the bolt that holds the plastic softtop-rail catch mouldings in place (keep any shims). Finally, undo the bolts at the tail of the shroud. The female part of tail shroud is a captive plate in the clam and can be reached/adjusted by reaching through the engine bay up into the buttresses. '''2. Remove speaker trim panel''' it's only held in with 4 of those black plastic rivet things with heads that maul when you try to unscrew them so decided to remove passenger seat and passenger seat belt top mount to clam shell (''is this supposed to be a sentence?'') seat is only held in by 4 sownward (''downward?'') allen bolts (as above) front 2 are easy to get to rear tunnel(''what tunnel??'') is ok if you have enough extensions rear near side only if you have a flexible extension,and the bolt is so tight it (''"tight it"? so tight that?'' you need to rotate the seat too(''Really? going to rotate the seat to unscrew a bolt?''), to help it release ( you'll need to remove the bracket holding the lumbar bubble thing too - allen head ) ok then remove the trim panel undoing the speaker wires all this (''is'') for '''3. Remove bolt each side going sideways into the clam''' '''4. Remove engine cover''' 2 bolts each hinge with assorted washers (''that's LITERALLY not even a sentence'') unplug the aerial near the engine cover from inside cabin (''seriously dude! define "cabin"'') unscrew 2 nuts per hinge and remove hinge clamp brackets which hold down front of clam '''5. Have a rest (''from my terrible grammar'') and remove carpet(,) foam etc from within boot''' remove battery bracket 2 bolts (''rest is over! back to the poor writing'') 2 more clam bolts through floor battery side 3 clam bolts right side (''somewhere on the right side'') discover (''"discover"? if you had to "discover" this you're an idiot'') tyre weld above offside wheel arch '''6. Remove 2 allen bolts holding ecu (''you'll be able to discover this even if you can't discover the tyre weld'') unit to boot partition''' leave ecu where it is (''Where you discovered it'') '''7. Remove n/s wheel ( jack car first)(''no s**t, Sherlock'')''' remove liner (''After removing the following'') remove half dozen of those screw plastic rivet things remove one 8mm bolt just above shock absorber lift liner over shock absorber - it's tight easerest (''what?'') of wheel arch liner out of space - its a good job its flexible - I found back end easiest to get out first and there's a clip holding some wires which you need to poke out from inside the wheel arch this gives access to 2 bolts holding clam / air box tube/side grill towards front of wheel arch - there may be 'C' shims here! from inside liner pull battery wires through clam with grommit same for rear lightclu(s)ter wires - undo connector in boot(.) refit wheel lower jack '''8. Do same for o/s wheel''' after removing the liner undo the 8 screws holding the petrol filler aluminium ring aand press the filler cap gently - it should unstick and move slighly inside clam '''9. I found it easier to [[Remove the rear undertray]]''' '''10. Remove a pozi screw each side holding the grille around the exhaust''' '''11. You will need to unbolt the exhaust silencer hanger which is bolted to the clam near the N/S/R wheel''' '''11. Remove one more bolt each side at this point(''where??'') screwing sideways into the clam''' lift off the clam refit by reversing the above procedure :)
