appanreltty, the bible that is the haynes manual saysa that youmust renew the bolts in any case, but because they have a tapered head, i'm not sure they'll work the other way around

ther eis also the matter of one side being a 15mm head and the nut at the bottom being a 19mm version ;(

if i cold get into the space that there wan't (about an inch) to cet the head off, it would have been beheaded ages ago

on a sierra, with a bit of luck, 20 minutes and hardly bearking a sweat

this has taken 4 hours of my life and 2 grinding discs so far

i did take loads of pics but then i sort of gave up when i had to dismantle the wheel arch which means dismantling bits of the fornt bumper
and then there is the problem of wehre to put the scafold bar to pop he bottom ball joint out, there's no space at all
