RobbieMac Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Can someone help me please... How do you remove the tail; lights from a WD 21? I think the lens has to be removed to get to the bolts that hold it in. If this is so, how do you get the lens off without cracking it? Any assistance will be most appreciated. Thank you, Rob.

PHR Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I have no pic off hand but if i remember, you should have 3 x10mm nuts inside the fender. remove them and pull the light assembly gently backward. all bulbs are on a quarter turn socket and can be removed without tool.

RobbieMac Posted February 24, 2015 Author Share Posted February 24, 2015 Many thanks, Phillipe. They are now out! Took me a while to get a good view of those nuts - not easy to see in that tight, dark space. I thought the 3 nuts (they are 8mm on mine) were something else at first. Again, thank you, Rob.

maaakaaa Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 It certainly took me a bit of time and frustration to figure it out when I replaced mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terranovation Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I remember doing my tail light, I just looked at the new one I had to put in, there's three bolt screws, one on the top, one about half way down the side and one at the base. I used that as a reference to feel around in there to feel where the screws go. Managed to feed a 8mm? socket in there to get the screws, I thought they would be finger tight but they need a bit more than that to ensure a good seal. The screw at the top is a biarch to get to, especially with a socket. There's hardly any room in there if you've got Paul Bunyan hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I remember swapping one of mine out a while back. It's definitely a job you do by braille. IIRC removing the cargo area interior panels made it a bit easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terranovation Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I just took the plastic door thing off and shine a torch in there. It's like ear canal surgery, because you have to try and crane your head around into that space. There's also a white plastic connector you can unclip for the globes. The new tail light just clip the connector back in, it's plug n play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Smoke and mirrors, gentlemen, just go easy on the smoke... A 2" mirror on a stick and a small flashlight makes exploratory surgery like this a breeze. B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpecialWarr Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Yea, I tried the mirror on a stick but the Wrigley's gum I was using wasn't rated to -15C and the mirror fell off..... fortunately the rust has made it easy to pick the mirror up off of the ground!

Precise1 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 LOL I have a few in each tool box I'll just go ahead and leave this right here... https://www.google.com/search?q=2%22+inspection+mirror&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=bwPwVOrOKsjKoATRgIHgAg&ved=0CAgQ_AUoAg&biw=1680&bih=911 You probably don't want to see this either then.

SpecialWarr Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Thanks B. !! We actually have a bore-o-scope at the shop but honestly I should be able to manage through the auxiliary lower body - to - bumper vent that I mentioned before!

kdj Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I think my last doctor had one of those. Never stayed around to get all the details. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpecialWarr Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 (edited) Although I must admit that when I printed out the mirrors I was less than impressed with how much light it reflected..... maybe I should try 'Print-as-Image' next time?<br /> Edited February 28, 2015 by SpecialWarr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
