oldmandon 1 Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 You need to compress the springs with spring compessors then unscrew the nut holding them on the the whole lot comes off, springs and all. Just make sure you wind the compressors down evenly, oh and watch they don't fly off..... Link to post Share on other sites

lee123d 0 Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 what i done was left the suspension on and used an airgun with a 21mm or 23mm and they came out then used a 17mm ratchet spanner and they came off a treat Link to post Share on other sites
