Great vid Kev. It's bloody annoying when you buy a special tool for a specific job and it doesn't fit. As you say it's not best to use the old mole grips but needs must. Quite impressed at how easy the rears were to do though. Car looks pretty decent now, well done.

One thing I've learnt from years of working on cars, nothing about working on suspension is ever easy.
@ecclesmilligan87123 жыл бұрын
just one thing Kev those rear lower shock bushes should not be tightened until the suspension is compressed to it's normal road going position. Otherwise the rubber bushes are always under tension which shortens their life. All you have to do is, with the car on the ground, undo the lower bolts a few turns or so bounce the vehicle on the suspension then tighten again. That should release any bush tension.

Great video Kev, keep up the great content. but I have never removed springs from the rear of a car, that does look easy, but when doing car maintenance in College then we stripped the engine out, but we were taught to compress the springs for the front before releasing the shocks, not sure how much difference it would make though, maybe give a little more room to remove the shocks due to not being forced open by the springs. great video Kev, keep up the great content.
