Default ALK / Castor block fitting

Uk spec Classic

I've managed to get a pair of Castor blocks ie ALK from flea-bay and looking forward to getting my suspension aligned.

I would like to fir these myself just before I get the alignment done, but have no idea where they go and doubt there'll be fitting instructions.

Can any let me know where they go and how hard a job it is ?

I'm pretty handy with spanners and hammers.

Cheers

I did mine with a trolley jack, axle stands, long T bar and a hammer. Not hard to do really. You will need to get the tracking set up after.

Thanks

That makes it sound easy - Ha ha.
I'll grab a peice of scafold pipe for the extention.

Can you use ramps, or does the suspension need to be unloaded ?
