Fitting Sprint tailpipe

#1 Post by simonhorton »

Hi all,
Please can you explain how the rear tailpipe is put into place
I know I have to remove the l/ h rear wheel , but is there anything else that needs removing ?

Many thanks for your help

It should go in but the body needs jacking from the body not the axle, and the pipe fed in from the wheel arch. A bit fiddley but doable. Good luck :)

I dropped my angled tie bar and the radius arm. The trick to save this would be to do it on a 4 post lift, then you can get the pipe down enough and corkscrew it in.

You do get the knack after practice...
