Default ALK problem

Hello all,

well after a day of struggling i havent managed to fit my whiteline alk

everything is friggin tight thats all i know, the problem ive now got is i cant get the wishbone to articulate away from the body enough to get a socket on the end of it to undo the last nut.

any tips or help of what other people have done would be much appreciated.

cheers

Rich

you have completely removed the U shaped brace from the underside? Once thats out the way its not too hard it bolts to the chassis legs.

hmm not sure which part you mean?

do i have to completely remove the wishbone, because i have released the two bolts that go into the chassis just trying to get it into a position where i can get the end nut off.

cheers

I fitted mine the other week and i know what you mean by tight
I didn't remove anything else to change the bushes.
I just got a 22mm spanner on the end of the nut and used a lot of force. You could try sleeving a bar over the spanner to get more leverage.
When i fitted the new bush, i used a small pry bar to get it into position.
