RichW426 Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 (edited) My dealer did it by simply undoing the top fixing, and the ones down the wheel arch. He then pulled the panel out at the top and reached in and removed them. It was tight but thats how he did it.

bally4563 Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 Surely can you not thread a air line down from the top and blow them out, regardless of the cap if the area gets some pressure behind it should blow out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s organics pour some drain cleaner down and then let it rest and follow with a air line, , my approach will let you know how I go on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moonshine Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 When iI cleaned mine out last year, they were filthy. Glad i did it. I removed the rubber diaphragm from the drain plug, but i put the plastic plug back into the end of the drains when i put everything back together . (Without the rubber valve) WIll this be OK? (or would i have been better leaving the whole plug off?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
