fender emblem

[Mel S.]

I am trying to fasten the speed nuts onto the passenger side flag emblem on my 66 with factory air. It seems impossible. I have been a car nut for many years and not much stops me. I need help. Can anyone give me some insight on how to fasten this emblem?
Thanks

Mel, Have you tried to remove the lower shields and come up from the bottom to reach it? Don H.

I have the body off of the frame and up on my lift. I can see the prongs through the fender but cannot get the speed nuts on. It seems like the fan motor AND the evaporator need to be removed.

Mel,

Last summer I changed the flags on my 63 A/C coupe. I did the RH side from underneath. Took about 30 minutes. I didn't remove any other components. Just four speed nuts off and four speed nuts on.

Mel, as mentioned in a recent post I've removed these multiple times without removing the heater stuff, probably the same way Harry did.

I did get them on. I was not easy but persistence paid off.
