Thank you! is there any other way without taking apart everything?

 

No there is not. this job takes very minimal tools. you will need a Philips #2 screw driver (grill and filler panels), I think 8mm or 7mm socket and ratchet (for removing the cable from the latch) for the head lights just pull them off the tabs. start from the top. the blinkers are held in with a spring clip.

 

You can literally remove the corner amber lights with your fingers w/o any tools. As you look down by the back of the headlights, there's a wire ring (loop of wire) about the size of a silver dollar. You grab that and there's a hook on it that you lift out of the way and, once loose, you can remove the light by hand. The rest is like the guys said. Give it a shot.

 

I'm going to second the bit about lubing up the hood latch. On mine, the cable was ok, it was the latch that was sticking. And if yours is like mine, the secondary latch spring is wimpy with age and just kind of hangs there, not doing it's job. It is very exciting to have your hood fly open doing 70 down the interstate, and folding back across your roof. Ask me how I know (twice) and let me tell you, it's the wrong kind of exciting.

 

Yes, I had that happen to me once too (not in the disco). It's quite an amazing and extremely startling experience: "now you see, now you don't!" Definitely do lube. I lube mine up ever so often.

BTW, the hood release handle on mine broke off too.

 

What do y'all use for lube? Grease, wd40, garage door spring lube....

 

Half of the plastic hood release handle broke on my last week. 20yr plastic is more brittle than flexible.

Has anyone added the handle parts from a D2?
Curious about how to get it done.

 

Yes. See below.

 

Thanks Fish!
