25 - Gently bring the strut down and support it – 322 viewsHaving the inner wheel arch off helps with the airline having a bit more freedom. I rested the bag on top of the hub, to get to work on the airline.

28 - Undo the Airline Connection – 324 viewsYou need a 12mm open ended spanner for this. Keep the airline pushed in while you undo it. It won't feel like you are doing anything, then suddenly it will be free.

54 - Wheel Arch Liner – 331 viewsRAVE simply says refit liner (oh yeah!) Get it roughly in position. Might help to warm it up to make it more pliable, especially around the outer edge. I started at the front, getting the lower part up and over the back of the bumper bits and then gently started to lever the outer edge behind the wing. YOu should get to a point where the bolt on the wing pops through the hole. Put the nut on!
