As title...

I need to change the drivers side one on my 2.0 dohc sapphire as the spring burst through the bottom of it. I cant see an easy way to remove the front 2 bolts that run through the bushes of the arm.

Does the whole axel have to be dropped to change them??

 

If you undo the main bush and the shock, you should be able to pull it down to give enough access

 

hmmm... id thought about that but it looks like the bolt closest to the diff, has to come out in the direction towards the diff.

I just know its not gonna be handy

 

oh yeah, forgot about the inner one, wont come out with the diff there. To save messing about just drop the whole back end out rather than trying to remove the diff with everything in place, all the fiddling will take you longer in the long run.

 

buggar. thats what i thought.

cheers for the help!

 

Gas axe.

 

air saw,oldphonebloke on ebay sells new bolts for pennys.

 

Well i got it changed handy enough. Dropped down one side of the beam and cut the bolt beside the diff out. Had a spare lying around so job only took half the time!

 

Bit late but that's^^^ what I do.
