Does anyone know how to remove these clips?

[Flatline]

From inside the frame, without breaking them?

Left hand side



Front lower cross member

[VTR Phoenix]

1st one is pull hard or get a small flat head under the base and push sideways as it splays when pushed in, 2nd one push up and they should pull off. Might be a little stiff.

Trim clip tool won't help with these, Mac.
They have arms that spring out when inserted, and there's no way of getting to the arms to push them back together to extract it. The arms bends backwards if they don't snap off as you pull it out, so although you can re-insert it it won't stay in. They're a single-use item.

You have a fair point, and so has the knife I use- just tape the frame around the clip, pull the clip away from the frame and cut.
You'll never get the broken-off plastic bits out, but they cause no harm.

OK, thanks for that. I seem unable to find a source of new ones though

I'm sure one of you clever chaps will know where

Dosen't show the lower front cross member one as a seperate item.

Pull them both out & see if the holes are the same size...if so use two of L/H side ones...

Or maybe it comes with when you buy a new frame @$1368.99...

That's not a bad price compared to a set of new crankcases....

As I had cut the front engine spacer to free the bolt, the frame is knackered

So I cut them out. Sorted

[tony.mon]

Frame's not knackered, file the boss flat and use spacers.
If you can hacksaw neatly down on the frame side of the frame to boss join. Then slide in a 1mm thick washer.
