Once the nut is off one side should I be able to bash the pinch bolt through the hole or will I also need to undo it using the torx head?

I dont know if the hub is threaded or not...

I only ask as I've got the nut of easily but not started undoing the bolt due to not having a torx bit to use.

 

should just bash out dude, only threaded hole on the hub is for the bolt that holds the strut in place

 

Cheers.
Just what I wanted to hear.

I've already had the usual 'hammertime' fun and games with both the struts.

 

just be careful not to fuck the end up if u hit it with a hammer!

 

Already bought a new one for a quid from Ford.

I'm that confident I'm going to completely muller it.

 

PML,nothing like confidence

 

if u want any replacements for any other suspension bolts, gimme a shout, ive got loads left over from my rebuild, 1s where iv had to buy 5 at a time etc

genuine aint the cheapest way to buy bolts, but it is nice n bufty at least lol

 

Always the way.
lol..
If only I'd posted this sooner.

Thanks for the offer. Hopefully I wont need any, just done both struts and arms - theres not a lot left to replace now. (famous last words...)
