I have used the Dinitrol kit on my caravelle and I am very happy with the results. I will be using the same stuff on my Westy.

I attempted to fit the new rear shocks (thanks Ninja) (shocks came this morning)
But the nuts n bolts won't budge.

So looks like cutting and new fixings first :(

Then i will have a crack at soda blasting my style and take some pics.
I'm not going to do the whole of the underneath yet just selected parts.

Had a wave by yesterday from a t4 owner which was nice and a caddy driver last week.:)

They should come undone undone quite easy. Are you sure you are not doing them up?

Lefty loosy, righty tighty...
Remember if your trying to undoe with spanner/ratchet on the inner you must be facing the nut/bolt(be under the van) or you will be tightening it.

If the worse comes to the worst you need to heat the nut up or use a nut splitter...
Make sure you use a socket and a nice long bar.
