too true not as easy, top oem droplink top bolt bloody rounded on me

gona have to grind it off tomorrow, then hopefully get the links fitted.

Dunx, I know that the car has have wheels on the ground, i have jacked the car up and dropped the wheels onto a couple of concrete blocks to give me some room underneath.

looks like it is gona be a tight squeeze to put the KLC 32's on, was there not a few peeps saying these sit at a funny angle?

done a search but can't find any pictures of these links on a newage

job done!
bloody bolt was murder to cut off took 2 hrs using power tool with small cutting disk.

next problem i must have nicked the cv boot as it has small hole in it and some grease is spurting out onto the inner wheel rim.
is this a hard job to replace / will it cause damage to the cv if i use the car until i get it fixed.

Eventually ! If you lose all the grease, feed it some grit !

Can you ty-wrap a carrier bag round it ?
