There's a little Grub screw which is a nightmare to find around the collar area, and IIRC you will have to cut an allen key down so that you can get to it as the body gets in the way of a standard length one. So make sure you protect the body work before trying anything.

I recently took one apart on a butchered Chimp door ...(oh I lovered doing theat door in evil ) to get the gubbings out ( Stud ) that the wing mirror grub screw tightens onto...Bloody nightmare geting it all off. I have some pictures somewhere will try and dig them out...Would also make a good article for reference on TGP.

A couple of layers of masking tape on the surrounding bodywork is a good way to do this. smile
