I might have a go myself but am concerned i will not get the beam lined up straight!

Is this something easy to check? would a garage be able to do it much more easily?

Cheers

When I did mine there really wasn't much in the way of play, I certainly didn't do any kind of lining up.

If you're worried I'd get the front tracking done before, then they could probably set up the rears to be in line with those.

In all honesty I wouldn't worry though Smile

Simple off and on, nothing really to line up other than the rear mounts, the front ones don't move at all

Tight.

Literally, just be sensible about it. I did mine up with a decent socket set and just did them as tight as I could. It's not a cylinder head, nothing's going to warp, just tight will do nicely Smile

i overtightened mine and they sheared the stud off. rewelded them in a hardcore fashion and they are fine

p*ss easy job though. i had my beam on and off about 8 times when i sheared them, i was losing the plot!
