Cheers for the tip, I saw it a while back in camper & bus mag. Undo a couple of bolts, straight swap of springs. Said it takes 3 hours. How hard could it b!!!

Sorry, when you said wishbone bolts I thought you meant the trailing arm bolts needed swapping

I hope I'm trying to do it right! I thought u can undo the bottom shock bolt then the wishbone bolt and struggle for a bit and hey presto? Sound ok?

i undid the top joint as well ( two allen key bolts ) allowed the hub to fall away to give more room etc ,

The standard shock absorber bolts are normal HT nut & bolt (19mm spanner )

Hi got those sockets did the job without any hassle. Thanks

Just a quick update. Thanks to everyone for the help. I got myself a breaker bar, don't no y I didn't have 1 b 4, they r a great bit of kit! Brought the other bits spray etc. I got the wheel nut off and the rear is all finished. Shamed to say only managed 1 of the front! I was looking after my 2 1\2 year old daughter at the same time and felt very guilty about having her out in the cold! So just ran out of time. Only got 1 to do now so will b able to do it no probs. Thanks again and until next time

You no what they mean. It aint that hard to figure out! 1 = one, r = are .... Its just a bit quicker that's all

Of course i know what it means, I have kids of my own, I just thought this was a forum for grown ups that's all.

You must be a busy boy if you need to save a few nano seconds, my advice would be to lighten up a little and realise when someone's taking the pi55!

Guess i need to get down with the kids a bit more.
