Title: Quick one on boot latch removal
Post by: Haribo! on 29 January 2013, 11:37

Can't find this on search. What do i need to remove the screws? I've been told M8 and t45 but mine look bigger, Can anyone verify either?  Just wanna know what tool to pick up on the way home :)

It's a spline bit that you'll need, I think it's 8mm, but not 100%

I don't remember any M8s in that job... T45 rings a bell though. You have to remove the lock barrel before the handle though

not the handle, the latch/catch.

I don't have the tool that fits, checked  :(
