Checking the Bolts on the Citroën SM Gear Box
This is just a short reminder to all you Citroën SM lovers out there.
It is extremely important to get in the habit of checking and correcting, if necessary, the tightness of the bolts fastening the differential shaft extension housing to the Citroen SM gear box .
This should be checked after any repair involving removal of the motor, the gear box, the drive shafts or the front suspension units.
The tightening torque is 10.5 to 13.5 m.kg. (76 to 98 ft. lbs.)
Stay safe!
Denis

Removing A Citroën-D Series Door Handle

“I am at a loss as to how to access the outside rear door lift handle assembly for removal. While attempting to press out a small dent surrounding the outside door lift- handle using a lever through the window glass slot I dislodged one of the “bobby pin” shaped flat springs from the backside of the handle. So I not only need to replace that, I also still need to remove the handle to finish the dent removal. Any information will be sincerely appreciated.”
