'83 FC Doghouse removal - Kurt Achenbach - 02-07-2006 05:15 Need some help to remove the dog house in my 83 FC to be able to adjust the valves on the 3208 Cat. Have looked in the various Files without success. Where do I start and where are the bolts. Thanks Kurt Achenbach '83 FC 35' SB in NH '83 FC Doghouse removal - Jim Owens - 02-07-2006 06:51 Kurt, There are instuctions with photos, I downloaded and printed them out some time back, before the original wanderlodge.org forum split. Unfortunately, my hard copy is in the 'Bird 120 miles away... From memory, you remove the lid from the hinges and there are about eight or so bolts securing the sidewalls of the doghouse to the floor between the front seats. You'll have to ease up the edge ofthe carpet for access to the bolts. I'll look and see if I can find the file on one or another of the sites.

"You will find the procedure for doghouse removal on groups.yahoo.com/wanderlodge/files/projects/doghouse removal. You should find strips of carpet approx 2-3" wide around the base of the doghouse which will pull up exposing the bolts which hold it on the bottom, Then follow the procedures on the site. Be careful the top cover is very heavy." Other posts mentioned both bolts and screws securing the lower portion of the doghouse, once all are removed some have had to use a crowbar or prying tool to loosen the lower portion... Surely someone else has a link or a hard copy of the photos and directions... C'mon guys, help the fella out!

Good luck!

That must be why the Files link is on the WOO homepage. I knew the info had to be there somewhere!
