open up the back where the leg of the suspention strut fits into the caliper I'm tempted to just use an old chisels etc but I'd rather the proper tool for the job, any one know what it's called? ________________________________________ Proud Member of the ASTOR Owners Club |

I was thinking because the whole lot would come off in one go!  so one of these would do the job? ________________________________________ Proud Member of the ASTOR Owners Club |

In that case just take an angle grinder to the car around the A-pillars, everything really will come off in one go  I believe the tool of choice is an 8mm square sump plug bit, jam it in the gap and rotate it with a breaker bar. No need for spending money on expensive tools. ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

strut goes into the hub carrier, and as above you can use an 8mm square sump plug key, or an allen key.most of the time though simply removing the bolt will suffice. its not a bodge. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Whack an allen key in the back of the hub and turn it to open up the hub. Failing that smack with a hammer and it will come free________________________________________ Cherry Red 306 HDIChampionship White Integra DC5 Type R |

I use an old hub pinch bolt, just tap it in with a hammer to open it up to slide the bottom of the strut in, then just tap it with the hammer again to knock it out |
