- As another posting said I found the opposite to be true. I owned

- I basically laid on top of the engine to get to the back side.
- I remember 2 of the 3 were pretty easy but one takes some doing. I

- Over all I really enjoyed the car. I also have two extra wheels

- them please email. Cheap. Also if anyone wants a helpful hint for this
