Default Whats the best way to change the rear Lateral links.

Hi guy's, I'm after a little help I bought some standard rear lateral links and I've poly bushed them and I'm about to fit them in the next few days. I've been spraying all the bolts on the car with WD40 for the last couple of weeks especially the long ones.

I do not have an impact gun so it will be sockets and spanners.

I've noticed that on the subframe the front inner bolts have a rubber cup over the nut, what does this do? and does it pull off to gain access to the bolts nut? I will be marking the rear inner cam bolt for which adjusts the toe to keep it as close to it's setting on replacement.

Any tips and advice regarding this swap over. Cheers Steve

Got those and a scaffold pipe and spare bolts in case I have to cut any or they shear.

Do the 2 rubber domed cups with notches that cover the nuts on the inner front links( Nearest the petrol tank) pull off mate or are they vulcanised onto the nut's?

You wont sheer those bolts, they are very high tensile (10.8's?)

Sorry, I can't remember how those serrated bolts come away
