Question OK, So How Do You...

Undo the front drop-links on an RA??????

Went to fit my u/rated ARB this afternoon, started to undo the bolts on the rose-jointed drop links and then found that I had nothing to stop it just going round and round

Couldn't obviously see how to get the other side like cap off, didn't seem to want to come and I didn't want to damage...

So, whats the secret?

Some have an allen key hole so you can hold it still while undoing the nut.

Thanks

"Exactly" where please? I couldn't see anywhere you could stick a pin head!

Look at the 'nut' end of the link's shaft. (on wishbone and roll bar)
If you dig at the end eventually under all the crud an allen key socket will emerge.
It fills with grit and grime and becomes invisible.
It is quite deep, about 10mm and I think the allen key size is 3.5 or 4mm.
