JK Guide: How To Remove Ply Lining

Mark shows us how to remove Ply Lining

(00:00) Welcome to Just Kampers Project 2022. So this is a t 6.1 transporter that we're going to be converting from a panel van into a full-on camper so our part one is removal of all of our ply lining and our bulkhead and then we're going to start with a bare basic vein so we're going to start by removing our panel work that's been put in by the dealership so we're going to remove all this so we can see what we've got and start with our bear van okay so you can either use a screwdriver or if you have one it's really handy to use a battery operated

(00:33) drill to remove the screws just shortens our time also, as this wheel arch box is sealed together, we can use a knife to hopefully break the sealer away all the way down, so we should be able to remove the box as one section, and that should just break away freely wow, okay, so it's getting pretty chilly in the workshop. I think we're gonna have to change over to the warm jumper, let's get rid of that one as if by magic, that'll do perfect, okay, we'll just continue

(01:36) okay so we're going to unscrew all the screws for the side panel, remove the side panel now, okay, should be all the screws removed. So obviously again there is sealer that's between the two plywood panels, so we need to cut that with our knife should just to be able to lift it, okay, so these factory holes here

(02:45) on these panels to help us close the tailgate and allow for air movement so again we need to make note of that um so we're going to remove this, that's our 3mm allen key, wind out in the center then we can pull the whole thing out in one so i did the last few without even using the allen key just the trim tool there we go that's our panel removed okay so the pull down strap on the tailgate is actually screwed in with torx screws so we need to unscrew those those torx screws are a T25 so you can use either just a T25 screwdriver i've

(03:25) got like a multi tool here same thing this is basically we can unscrew so that's that's the torque set uh torx screw um it looks like a star and that's a T25 both screws are out next thing we need to remove with a bit of care is our electric button that opens the rear tailgate um so again we need to unplug this and pop this out of this panel so we'll do that by dropping the tailgate back down okay so we've got to remove this switch from this panel this is our switch to open our tailgate so we have to be careful this because

(04:02) obviously it's plastic there is a little plastic tag underneath but basically we push up with our finger and then the switch pops out and as we pull the switch out we can turn it over and remove the electrical plug and then basically that's it out of our panel the only other bit to come out is this again the pegs behind we squeeze and we take the trim okay cool [Music] the next part is to remove the floor ply lining these are all screwed down to the body again so we use our drill to remove all our screws first things first we need to remove

(05:00) the jack so we can pull our plier lining out and this just literally unscrews and then we'll decide where we're putting him later once we've finished our conversion because we probably have to remove this mount once we've removed this mount to be able to continue with our conversion we'll end up putting the jack probably under the passenger seat in the front with all the other parts so one half of the floor yeah that's it headliner or the the headboard so we're going to take this out much the same fittings as our side panels were so we're gonna

(05:54) use our either our 4mm uh 3mm  allen key, and obviously, we've got the trim tools as well if we need it, so let's crack on once the centre bit's removed. We can now pull down our panel, so all our panel is removed. We're gonna clean out the back of the van, so uh I was gonna use my mate Henry but he's away, it's all right though, because we've got Charles!
