Re: THE SYNCRO JOURNEY!
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.

Re: THE SYNCRO JOURNEY!
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.

Yep not a mm of budge.
I put wd40 on, long ratchet and even a short scaffold poll for leverage but still no luck.
What heat it up with a welder?

WD40 is a moisture displacer.You need to be using plusgas.

With a blow torch, as said though, rears are normally pretty easy to undo
