Body/Trim: 850: - Cowling removal

Bob · Jun 11th, 2022, 12:37

I need to remove the cowling around the steering wheel on my 1995 850 T5 to replace one of the stalks. I looked at a video on YouTube, but mine does not seem to be the same.

The pics below show the underside of the lower panel. There is a small single something in the middle and I have no idea what that is.

Then there are the 4 holes. Two holes show the T20 screws, then there are the two holes right at the end. You need a long screwdriver to get in there, but there appears to be no screws.

I put my Depstech in the hole to see what was there and that is the other pic. I have no idea about this.

The cowling was taken off some years ago by the dealer to replace the ignition barrel.

Thanks. The T15 does not work, from the pic it looks like something a lot smaller. I'll get a T10 and see if that works. I have a T10 bit but not a long driver.

I have got these off. The problem was because when the dealer fitted a new ignition barrel, when they replaced the top and bottom covers they over tightened the screws and knackered the posts. Bits of plastic fell out when I got them off. Need to find replacements now.
