thought so. Round two tomorrow  Am I right in thinking the Nyloc nuts can't be re-used? If so what size will I need for the drop link and pinch bolt? I take it my local factors will have some in, or are they pug specific? ________________________________________ '00 Astor Grey GTi-6 - Regretfully sold!'89 Onyx Black 205 GTi 1.6 |

small cold chisel or a ball joint separator smacked into the gap in the back of the hub should part it enough for it to drop off the strut. Thats the biggest git of the job imho.Technically, you shouldn't reuse the nylocs, but I have done before with threadlock.

I started replacing the struts and springs after one snapped, for my new billies and eibachs today, I followed this faq as it's related, got to the part where you have to remove the strut from the hub, I 've removed the pinch bolt (b*stard thing) but i cannot for the life of me get the strut out. Am I missing something? Most of you fella's are saying it should just come out with little force, I've had the mallet out and WD40 on it for the best part of the afternoon and still no joy. Is there a specific way to remove the strut? I hope that all made sense as it proper twistin my melon Knew i should've paid some one to do it. Yeah, chisel or fox wedge in the split at the back. You don't need to get the pinch bolt out to knock off the hub, just loosen the nut enough to allow you to open up the gap with a chisel/ wedge. ________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.

I've mentioned it before but the early wheel nut brace with the flat on to let the spare wheel down - well the flat is just the right size to tap down the gap in the hub, then you have some leverage to open it up.________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

Got it off, finally! Plenty of WD40 and lots of twisting/pulling, ran out of light now so i'll be at it again tomorrow putting the new damper back on. Am I right in thinking eibach springs sit on the damper with the writing the correct way up? cheers again for the input lads, I realise i've hijacked nev's thread ________________________________________ '00 Astor Grey GTi-6 - Regretfully sold!'89 Onyx Black 205 GTi 1.6 |
