hello all i recently bought a chiltons manual for my 1986 iroc camaro and needed clarification on some things.
How would one remove all the ground effects on the camaro?
How would one remove the rear hatch shocks.
How would one remove hood shocks?
How hard would it be to remove all the iroc rims and repaint then stock what color would that be?

Sorry all for the avalanche of questions but this board is very helpful...

 

ground effects are only held in by screws and those annoying little plastic pop things.

 

Open hatch; support; unscrew. Note: the hatch is HEAVY!!!! And I don't mean, just, heavy; I mean, HEAVY!!!! Like, a couple hundred lbs. Don't think you're going to stand there and hold it with one hand while undoing the hardware with the other. You can SERIOUSLY HURT YOURSELF, and/or your car, if that thing gets loose and falls on you.Open hood; support; unscrew. At least, that isn't quite so heavy; only 70 lbs or something, if it's a steel hood.Same as any other rims.... jack up car, rotate lug nuts counterclockwise, remove tires, clean, mask, squirt.

 

would i have to jack up the car to access the plastic pop things. i have removed all the screws in the left side that were visible but it wasnt going anywhere? got an idea of where i can look?

 

If you're going after the side GFX there's one stud bolt that you have to remove the rear seat plastic to get to.

 

get a buddy for the hood and hatch shocks, just did mine, that hatch is freakin heavy

 

Heres a link to a good article on how to clean up and refinish your rims so they are like new.http://www.austinthirdgen.org/index.php?pid=9
Not sure on stock color, believe most are some sort of gray.
