This is such a good tutorial video! You are so good at explaining ALL of the steps in detail while still keeping it brief and to the point. EVERYTHING on my car is seized SOLID and I have been fighting with wheel bearings and front end suspension/steering for over a WEEK now! What a pain in my a**!!!!! The last thing I want to do is disassemble ANOTHER seized part so I can break something else in the process lmfao After watching this video I'll be stretching the boot on myself instead of paying a garage hours of labour to disassemble everything and replace it. So thank you!! Just gained a subscriber for sure!

If you have trouble locating a Plastic Cone, like in the video, from your local motor factors/Halfords etc, XXL Butt Plugs from Ann Summers work just as well.

What size bolts did you use to replace the rivets. I can’t get the ball joint off and would like to take those rivets out. Thanks

@wawayltd 2 жыл бұрын

It was pain in a bottom to remove those rivets, using drill, grinder, chissel, hammer and a ton of swearwords - we did it! I think we used 13mm bolts with 8mm thread.

Yes, it passes MOT, there is no strict rule on that. Although, looking back, I would recommend to use those metal stripes if you can.

@wawayltd 2 жыл бұрын

It's hard to say, it all depends how big it is, how much you're driving, how dirty are your roads. Normally, it's not something you stop for and call recovery, but it must not be ignored - just replace it when you can.

I never had problem with them. I agree that metal clamps are better, but if you're using cable tie on the narrow side, it's not a big deal.
