Gents,

i believe i have removed all the relevant nuts & bolts according to the 'mazda miata 99-01 FSM' i picked up from a link on here, screen shot below of all related bits that need to come off (side note i couldn't find the correct FSM for my 2002 NB series 2). I am stuck on the last clip seen as follows.



How does this come off? i was a little scared to yank on it too hard thinking i would damage the bar. is there a trick to removing this?



- i have removed the very top screw
- does the second bolt down need to come off also? (i dont think this is connected to the front bar)
- circled is the clip as shown in the FSM.. (noted as 'C') not sure how to take this off.

appreciate any assistance.

Just pull the bumper away from the car.

I did do that.. It was bending quite a bit to the point where i didn't want the clip or bar to break.. Il try hitting the inside of it to push it out rather than pulling.

Finally got the bastard off! Unbelievable how many clips/bolts had to be removed.

Cheers.
