¢ordy$hine Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Seems silly but I need to remove my Manta B rear upper bump stops connected to the chassis rail. Nothing in the Haynes manual. Any help please. Many thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mantasrme Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 The underside of the bump stop is barbed, you can either use a screwdriver to ease the barb up or large water pump pliers to grip the rubber (like in the picture below stolen from a topic on this site). Worth warming the rubber slightly to make it more pliable and squirting a load of silicone spray/wd40 etc to help the rubber slide out easier. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Pounsett Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Pull from one end and progressively work it out. Do not pull it out from the middle it may tear - I found out the hard way 😬 Maybe some WD-40. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it's just what we need to accept, good chance they will be scrap after removal 😟 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mines scrap now. Thank you guys for trying to guide me. 😊 Need to find a replacement. I've found out the part number is 08957573. Has anyone found a more modern replacement part? Cheers.

H-400 Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Found a German website but they asked 24€ for one without shipping... rediculous prices for a piece of rubber. Found also this one: https://shop.histomondial.de/suche?controller=search&s=Manta 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
