Rear Light Assembly Removal Instructions

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Tail light

The rear light assembly consists of two parts: one fixed to the outer side of the body and the other attached to the hatch of the trunk. To remove the latter, open the trunk hatch and remove the underlying soundproofing cover. Once the cover is removed, disconnect the bulb holder to access the light assembly's mounting nut. Loosen this nut without completely removing it to release the retaining tab and free the light assembly first from the inside and then from the outside. Repeat the same steps for the other light assembly.

How to Bleed the Clutch on a Renault Clio?

To bleed the clutch on a Renault Clio, open the bonnet to access the components located in the engine bay: here, you will need to undo the screws that secure the battery in its housing, the intake manifold, and the coolant reservoir. This will allow you to locate the pipe through which the brake fluid flows: by inserting the other end of the pipe into a container, you can press the clutch pedal to expel all the fluid until it fills the container.
