Tyre Foam Dropped Into Front Clam

[Ladders]

Will I be able to get it out by removing the rad cover or is it a case of removing the wheel arch liners or even the front clam

[GCCK]

If it's where it sounds, it's just behind the wheelarch liner.

It'll be in one of the front corners of the clam, just peel back the wheel arch and hook it out

Great, just have to undo all those rusty Rawl bolts now then!

You just need to pop to your local motor factor and get whatever tyre repair stuff they've got, it's all the same really.

Which part of "peel back the wheel arch" did you miss No need to undo anything, just put the steering on full lock and pull the liner down. Job done (30 seconds)

Knuckles I suspect

[shortname]

Had the same problem a while ago. Spent ages worrying about what the clunk from the front end on cornering was! Should be easy to recover with a bit of James Herriott type groping. I wired the can to the clip to prevent repeat performances. Was also surprised to see that the can supplied was too small for the rear tyre (!) so bought the next size up.
