bungy 2 Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Definately easier to undo the top mount bolt with the car on the ground with an air gun, then jack the car in the air to remove the rest. Link to post Share on other sites

legvw 0 Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 It may need a soak in wd40 or similar, but you should be able to hold the center and undo the nut. Link to post Share on other sites
supadupagt4 0 Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 u need to drop an allen key in the top of middle of the top not and undo the nut with an open ended swan neck spanner if u have no access to an air gun... or a set of mole grips on the shock arm(bright siler 8mm thick) in the wheel arch.tony Link to post Share on other sites
