as above :)
they are only plastic, and if you are having problems getting the caps off you best get praying if you intend on getting those torsion bars out lol :D
just get some mole grips on it and pull twist ect, if they break you can just get new ones from the scrappy
So if the Cap's Seized.
Im Kinda ****ed at lowering it. !! :shock:
nar you just want lots of penetrating oil none of that wd40 shite, spray in the ends and the middle of the bars
won't be seized joel, just need some more gentle persuation
Okay dudes. Wheres the wheel Brace in ph3 clios as well, without sounding daft :oops:
should be in the boot on the n/s
Cheers Lads, thanks a lot.
Im kinda Learning, Not really done much work on cars before.
gotta Torsion Bar Guide at the side of me, so should help.
Grrr proving a twat to get off, hit it and hit it, all diffrent angles not moving ffs!
and the Molgrips are missing :cry:
keep working on it lol, mine came off with a tap, hammer and chizzle to the back shouldnt be to hard
