Wing Removal ???

I went to my buddies body shop and I am getting my cf recoated but he told me to remove the wing off for him but the only problem is I want to know what is the right way to take it off before I start tearing **** apart, I checked on how to installation link and could not find how to take it off. Anyone please help?

you'll need a deep socket and a wrench...a hair dryer (to heat adhesive under wing)

and that's about it

Normally Id say SEARCH!!! But since this site is back to its old design the search feature blows!!!
I knew i helped someone else with this and it still took me 15min to find it.

i took a long knife and cut thru the adhesive on both side, which loosened up the wing.

easy easy.

get a 10mm socket, take the bolts and nuts,,,, take some string nylon or fishing line, and use it to cut the double sticky tape that holds the wing to the trunk, this way you wont scratch nothing,

Yes, you should put adhesive back on...thin double sided tape cut to fit..its an added layer of protection from any paint scratches the wing might cause and help it stick to the trunk. I would highly suggest AGAINST using a long knife like someone else mentioned and instead use fishing line to separate the wing from the trunk...You will then want to use some Goo Gone to remove the remaining tape left behind after wing removal both on the wing and trunk.

I just tied a rope to my wing and the other end to a tree and gunned it. Took 2 seconds to take off.
