#1: main power feed to the engine fuse box Author: Seabook, Posted: Sun Feb 26, 2012 7:38 am ---- that is the rusty nut in the photo
i accidentally loosen it and now i can't tighten it up or
i know there is a bolt under it but i can't get any grip on it.
space is tight so i don't know what can i do now lol
wonder if i left the whole grey plastic bit up?
that bolt desgin never make any sense to me unless you can access it from the bottom lol Last edited by Seabook on Sun Feb 26, 2012 7:45 am; edited 1 time in total

Spray some WD into the cap and dab it over the thread with a small paint brush, avoids it spraying in places you don't want it.

i presume that means one right hand nut at the bottom (that rusty nut) and then one left hand nut on the top?

no there isn't any room there, i can't even fit a spanner onto that rusty nut.
just enough room for a 10mm socket....
tried impact wrench to tighten it up but it get me no where lol

I find PlusGas is very good stuff.
#8: Re: main power feed to the engine fuse box Author: Seabook, Posted: Sun Feb 26, 2012 8:36 am ---- that won't work....
just discover the bolt was a square bolt and it shouldn't free spining at all as it should sit in a sqaure slot underneath it.
but because my fuse box has been short before so that slot melted. it won't hold the bolt anymore.
now i just squeezed some liquid steel in between the bolt and the slot hopefully once it settle it should be good enough.

That nasty bullet connector shouldn't be in an engine bay either.
#11: Re: main power feed to the engine fuse box Author: Seabook, Posted: Sun Feb 26, 2012 11:37 am ---- another few hours battle, no success at all.
is that anyway to remove the fuel box from the housing?
#12: Re: main power feed to the engine fuse box Author: Seabook, Posted: Sun Feb 26, 2012 12:04 pm ---- just checked on service box it looks like you can separate the fuse box from the housing
as they got separate parts number.
however i can't see any bolts or screw to undo??? i just don't want to keep pulling it out and then it suddenly break into piece lol
#13: Re: main power feed to the engine fuse box Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Sun Feb 26, 2012 12:17 pm ---- Isn't the bolt under the wheel arch liner?
#14: Re: main power feed to the engine fuse box Author: Seabook, Posted: Sun Feb 26, 2012 12:50 pm ---- hmm....
feels like that; always though i can remove the fuse box without remove the housing
#15: Re: main power feed to the engine fuse box Author: Seabook, Posted: Sun Feb 26, 2012 1:19 pm ---- well spare fuse box order.....
