    Any tips on how to remove the OEM DV?

    Hi all,

    I know it gets discussed a bit but I need a few tips on this one before I get started.
    I took the wheel off yesterday to see how challenging it will be to remove the DV. I've heard people mention that the top bolt is a little tricky. Unfortunately I didn't even get to the top bolt! Just wondering if someone could impart a little experience and knowledge to the following questions:

    How does the electrical connection come off? Is there a clip?
    Do you need to get under the car or can the bolts be removed with a long ratchet extension via the wheel arch?
    Are the bolts harder to get back on than to take off?

    Cheers guys.

    Remove RHF Wheel

    Cable clip is undone by compressing the plug (it has a rubber seal that you need to compress slightly) - the clip tab you feel - pull it backwards as you pull the whole clip backwards.

    We have a long 1/4" drive extension set with 5mm bit on it. By using the small diameter tools, you will find you have plenty of room. No problems putting it back on with the same tools.
