Change History

Yes - it is possible to remove the mounting bracket without changing its adjustment. I recently had to replace my passenger side when the plastic around the metal bar cracked. The top brass coloured hex nuts (4 of them I think) need to be removed. Mine were really tight and did not want to budge but I was eventually able to remove all four. I do not remember having to loosen the 4 small hex topped bolts. The mounting plate should then lift off the posts. Be careful that the adjustment knobs do not turn when doing this. I was able to plop the new bracket on top of the post and retighten them without messing with the adjustments. The post themselves are complex little beasties.

The connector is held in place in the bracket with the yellow clip. The clip slides up and down - one way releases the connector the other way fastens it down. I think I recall it may have had a small latching mechanism to stop it moving and having to use a small screwdriver to release it. Good Luck!
