ok....ok....ok....what's the trick to remove the bottom bolt of the plastic side cover? Top two unscrew right out. Bottom one just seems to spin in what looks like a rubber nut? hmmmm....:angry:
Correct !The bolts go into a rubber grommet that contains a nut. The rubber has torn and now the nut is free spinning.
X2, I had the same problem with my K9... grab tight with plies the botton and spin the top.... (I did need my wife to help me) two persons iwill make it easier.Correct !
The 04 and 05's (not sure about other years) used a "well nut" system. When a well nut is spun (i.e. the nut is no longer secured so it is free spinning), you have to grab and hold the nut through the rubber grommet with some form of plier in order to unscrew the bolt. Google "well nut" and you will get a better idea.
