Bulkhead Repair Help.

[Heli-pro]

Hey guys how are ya?
I need some help. I ripped the lower A-arm completely out front and back of the bulkhead. I know there is a front repair kit for the bulkhead question is is there a rear bulkhead repair kit?
If i bought a new bulk head all together, do you have to remove the engine to put the new bulkhead in ? if so does anyone know of any blogs or any instructions on here that will help me out on engine removal. ?
Thanks a lot guys for your time....Happy sledding.

The best way to fix it is replace the bulkhead but it is alot of work and I do beleive the engine hs to come out(I think). Or check this thread out, it has a repair kit for the exact thing you are talking about. I've never used one but it looks like it would work good.

I would have to ask my brother a he is on bulkhead # 3 on his 04 rx war. I do not think he has pulled the motor to do either but I do think he did it one half at a time so he would not have to. he keeps breaking upper rears for some reason.

the engine does not have to come out, you have to take the hood battery tray motor mount bolts etc,all the nose fairings have to come off ,bumper, etc,,its alot of work but not end of world,,,u need a good rivet gun and strong hands,,u can do 1 side or both,,,,

Air rivet gun and special rivets are needed, they don't use regular rivets. I no longer have the info on the rivets but should be here in the FAQ?
