Hi Everyone
Can anyone advise on how to remove the front service bonnet on a Tuscan, I am hoping this may be a relatively simple DIY task? I'm assuming it's a 2 man job .... Any advise greatly received
Thank you
Paul

It's a one man job as I recall, remove the nut and bolt at each corner which the bonnet hinges on (I think they are M8) and the bonnet simply lifts out. If doing it on your own be careful to hold the bonnet as you remove the last bolt.

Also becareful as these nuts are exposed to the elements and tend to rust, forcing them may damage the fibreglass that the bolts are set in.
