I've just changed my rear ARB and droplinks dead easy, now the front ARB has been a right **** about. Getting the droplinks off has been a right pain in the ****, so does anyone have any hints/tips for changing the front ARB on a hawkeye WRX?

Cheers

 

I hand to grind my drop links off

 

If they are metal drop links you need to put an allen key in the bolt end to stop them spinning. I don't remember what the hawk WRX's came with, metal like the STi's or plastic like the blob WRX's

 

I had metal ones with no Allan key slot , just a small ring inside the bushing which was pretty impossible to grip to get nuts off , mr grinder got them off tho lol

 

Well by the looks of it cutting that bolt off yesterday has put the fear in the rest of them (either that or the different penetrating fluid made all the difference), cus the rest of the bolts came out this morning no problem.

 

Those are the rears The fronts always have allen key holes, even the classic ones The rears have the inner ring which invariably makes you nip the cup and grease comes out. Junk them

 

Yep exactly what happened lol
