Had a recent run-in with a kerb and need to remove the rear- offside strut.
Need to know where abouts the top actually bolts to as its coming off tomorrow and I can't seem to find the nuts at all!
Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers
Ben

You need to remove the rear seat, the bolts are accessed from inside the car, sort of at the end of the parcel shelf

Two bolts at below the front gets the squab out, then it depends slightly on model how the backrest comes out, not difficult though!

Sounds easy enough to me then. Ive gotta take the hub off as well. The bolt that joins the trailing arm to the hub was that tight that i managed to snap two spanners on it!!! Couldnt get a ratchet to it though. Got a breaker bar now and thats loosened it so ill finish the job off tomorrow.
Cant wait!!! Shouldnt take too long though.
