Omega General Help / Re: Prefacelift handbrake back plate removal
« on: 24 March 2023, 03:54:17 »
It's not a standard spline. The socket needed to remove the backplate bolts in the photograph is an M10 XZN bit. This is also known as an M10 triple-square bit. Usually you need an extra long bit so you can reach through the access hole in the hub, doesn't seem to apply here. There's a Facom one here. Clean out the bolt heads with a fine wire brush and then soak with shock and unlock or similar.
The Vauxhall/Opel TIS says to loosen the bolts and pull the backplate forward to make room to insert the new style pins from the backside. As per cam.in.head's post above I repaired a pulled through backplate slot by welding on one of the mating slotted washers from the new style pin kits.
Try to repair the backplates as you'll struggle to find new ones.

Out of curiosity, why would the AIW officers want to permanently disable TC when there was a perfectly good switch available to disable it when required?

Omega General Help / Re: Brand exhaust???
« on: 10 March 2023, 02:45:44 »2.2 exhaust will fit perfectly if that's all you can find... It's basically a bigger 2.0 16v.Are you sure about that?
When shopping, just be careful that you get the correct exhaust for the body style as they are different saloon/estate
The 2.2 16V has two centre boxes and twin inlet sockets on the rear silencer.
However doesn't the 2.0 16v have only one centre box and one inlet socket on the rear silencer?
