Help: Replace Front Cover

Post by doletotodole »

My new PCX suffered twice impacts, front left cover bruised all over.
I bought a part, cost 60 USD.

I have no idea how to replace.

Is it difficult? How to start? Can I just use my hands or do I need tools?

Thanks.

You are in for quite an experience... each one of those has it's own breakdown. You will need a service manual. So you have 7 sections to study and carefully dismantle before you get to the front covers. The good news is before 2015 it was worse.

Reads like this, note it includes removing the body cover as well #20
One day Honda will design panels that snap straight out without screws, but that's not today :D

Essentially, you have to take the whole bike apart. Have you thought about buying some model paint and touching it up until you are ready to dismantle the bike? ...like, some time during the winter, when you can't ride?

Wow. Thank you for posting.

Apparently "trim removal tools" are useful (like those in the link below)
