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. </div><div id="AppleMailSignature"><br></div><div id="AppleMailSignature">Bill B</div><div id="AppleMailSignature">TS30800L<br><br>Sent from my <span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Altair 8800</span></div><div><br>On Oct 29, 2016, at 10:34 PM, David Templeton <<a href="mailto:davidt@opentext.com">davidt@opentext.com</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><div>

<p class="MsoNormal">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? <o:p></o:p></p>
