[TR] TR3a nose and fender bead

[Wbeech@flash.net]

The tabs are of a fairly soft metal and can easily be straightened and re-bent by hand.  I would recommend putting a 2" strip of painter's tape on either side of the bead to protect your paint as you remove and re-install the beading.  ISTR removing the fender bolts back to the firewall so as to be able to hold the fender well clear of the nose piece.

Evening all
 
I need to pull the radiator on the ‘3 and therefore the nose needs to come off.  The fender bead has the tabs folded up and I am wondering the best method to straighten them out so I can loosen the bean to get the nose off.  Gentle persuasion?  Or do I need to remove/loosen all of the fender bolts? 
 
Thanks in advance
David
