I Want To Fit A Towbar

[ms700]

Guys,

I am tring to fit a towbar, but what the  do you use to get those plastic plugs off. They have a cross in the top which implies a phillips head, but they dont work. They are in the rear guards and in the middle bottom of the bumper.

How do you get them off without braking them???

They are pricks to get out, I usually use a jewellers screwdriver to pull the centre (where the phillips is) out, once this is out pull the whole thing out.

Cheers, I'll give that a go. I have been trying to move the whole plug - I didnt realise just the centre bit comes out.

Correct, they are absolute pains to remove.

Get a small flat blade screwdriver, and try to wedge it between the outer edge and the phillips inside bit, and then use a phillips to remove it. Once you remove the first clip, you will know what im talking about.

Yeah I stuffed all of mine when I pulled them out. But you can buy replacements from Supercheap for just a couple of bucks.
