Wing replacement on 2 litre w reg Nissan Primera.

[Mad Mick]

Hi All,having to take time off work for an unknown period as herself is v. poorly.However I have managed to get a bit of work done on the car in between times.I have to replace the front o/s wing on the 2L W reg Primera due to rust.I have acquired a good s/h wing and rubbed it down etc and primed it and painted it the riight colour and it is ready to go on.
What I would like to know from you kind people is how tricky it is to remove the old wing and what problems am I likely to encounter.
Many thanks in advance,regards,Mick

Do they bolt or weld on ? If they are welded on cut as much away as you can leaving the attachment points till last then use an 8mm drill to break the top layer of the spot welds and a pair of long nose mole grips to peel what's left like a corned beef tin opener. When you fit your new one check the panel gaps before you weld it back on as it looks awful if you have gaping lines where the door and bonnet meet the wing.
