Ariel removal - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #19200 11 posts Started by Gerry
Anyone know how to take out the ariel, the whole motor an all.. mine has packed it in I think >frown.gif> . want to take it out to see if I can fix it or get a second hand one. I have taken off the bolt that holds the whole lot to the body of the car but it don't seem to want to come out ... any help or diagrams or pics would be great
Thanks
ariel is what exactly?

so sorry. forgot that it's mostly ameraicans on here, you guys call it the antenna. we call it the ariel over here!!
can't spell either can I
take out the panel in the trunk on the side that it is on, the motor and all should just be chillen there when you do

edit: this is what i got from reading the manual...

i've done that bit an removed the bolt that holds it to the car but it ain't comin out an I don't want to be too rough incase I make complete bits of something as I'm prone to doin
and you say you didn't miss a bolt???

take a flathead and get it in there if you can, attempt to pry lightly and see if there's a film holding it on, a hair dryer could loosen the film if there is...

otherwise there should only be like 3 bolts
hmm...sorry, im no help
thanks for that Consynx. I'll give it another go some of the days
let us know if it worked, if not someone else will hop in w/ why
