That tool and the  dimensions of the super duper pin puller PART # damit-rob,  should be added to the holden torana Lc and additional LJ addendum parts manual.

 

don't get confused with the PART # damit- rob-1 - it does  different things, that's the upside down CRC and WD spay can manual accessory for left and right doors !

I'm beginning to wish Brock had of won his 1st Bathurst in a Monaro? Would have made things a whole lot eaisier in the bolt off/on department.

 

I've drilled out way over 100 spot welds and the guards still aren't off.

50 spot welds along the top of the guard between the windscreen and the front panel on the drivers side. The passenger side had 40.

 

My VY has 5 bolts including the 2 for the bonnet strut. :huh:

Does seem like overkill, would have thought probably 10 per guard would have been enough

Would it be fair to say that the LC/LJ was a bigger rust trap than a HD?

 

Would it also be fair to say that the guard flutes are useless?

 

Did the Dealer Team remove the screw on panel on the inner guard to justify the flutes?

 

I am deleting the inner guard panels/shields for all the above reasons.
