Section 2 - Disassembling The Factory Lid - Cont.
2. Remove the 2 screws that hold the "key lock" to the factory lid. The chrome panel with
the reflector built-in comes off the factory lid by removing the 3 screws right next to the
key lock. At its seam, the factory foam gasket needs to be peeled up enough to allow the
rest of the hinge mechanism to be removed from the factory lid.
3. There are 2x "T20" torx screws that hold the balance of the hinge mechanism to the
plastic of the lid. Remove these screws and put the hinge mechanism aside.
4. Remove the T15 screw that holds the opening handle in place and pull the handle
away from the factory lid.
5. Remove the last 4x T15 screws securing the large latching mechanism to the underside
of the factory lid. This entire mechanism is now removed.
Section 3 - Mounting The Templates
1. Locate the cutting templates, noting that they are clearly marked "Clutch side" and
"Brake side". As shown in Fig 1.4, apply masking tape to the underside of the template to
avoid unnecessary scratches to the lid's paint.
2. Using Fig 1.3, put the correct template on the correct lid and drill through the 3 holes
in the template using a 1/8" (3mm) drill bit. Locate 3 of the supplied "pointy" ended screws,
and using hand tools, secure the template to the lid. You will also see "keyhole" shapes in
each template where you will start to cut when its time. Drill a 1/8" (3mm) "starter hole" in
each of these keyholes and then enlarge these holes to 5/16" (8mm).
3. Using a scratch awl or a pick tool (or something similar), scratch the factory paint all the
way around the outermost area of the "cut line". This gives you a line you can use "just in
case" you need to trim your lid once your cutting is complete.
