Did you have to remove the front bumper or just the frunk housing will do?

Note sure where you found that but I would use this as reference. https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/model3/en_us/GUID-E95DAAD9-646E-4249-9930-B109ED7B1D91.html

I did that as well. As an FYI, I read up on the brake lib vs anti seize debate. Apparently shouldn’t use anti-seize on anything that does not have a thread so I recommend sticking to just some sort of Ceramic Brake lub for the pin and brake pad. 😀

Yes to all of the above. I was able to remove the top no problem.

Tried this but could get it. At the awkward angles I had to work with.

Thanks, I got it at the service centre for $25. Comes with 2 pins and the middle bracket/spring

Thanks for everyone’s comments. Ended up cutting the pin with a multi-tool. Then I used BP blaster spray to help with the rust build up on the right side of the pin. A lot of banging back and forth, applying BP blaster, DW40 and a 4lb hammer, was able to get the thing loose and out. Took...

thanks! Will give it a try.

What is the cabin overheat protection to no a/c trick method?

yes, it happened to me. My filtered was replace last year around the same time. I wonder if the filter needs to be replaced again or if there is a defect in the AC unit?

the needle puncture is so small i don't think it has any long term affects to the protection of the film. I've had mine on for 2+ years and haven't seen any impact.
