ok no worries
anyone got any tips for un-doing these nuts? they were right fiddly when i last took them off as the wheel kept on spinning as i tryed to undo them.
i cant put it into gear and do it that way as the shaft is half hanging out

My bodge to do this on JRP's car was ram a big flat head screwdriver between the brake disc vents and the caliper and then use a long handled braker bar and stood on the braker bar and used my body weight (11 1/2 stone) with a little bounce and it eventually came undone enough for me to undo it by hand (caliper and brake disc actually survived aswell).

just blob a bit of loctite on the threads. peace of mind!
just wondering if i was corect with the wish bones . £10 say i am . or your gonna have to get be a big bottle of vodka
i think my bet is well safe
chepo srewdrivers tend to shear .
[quote=raj;85917]your getting me totaly wrong those wishbone in the picky are not for the 5gtt those in the picky are for a 9/11 . i have given you mesurments for the hole for the gt not those in the picky , have another look and measure the hole on the wish bones that are in the picky
lol, colin, how the flippin heck can you tell that the wishbones are 32.5mmcan you really make out the 5mm in a picture.? you must have some sharp eyes eh master
anyway, i think ill undo the o/s hub so i can sent the o/s driveshaft home, as its basically lodged half hanging out of the metal holder part on the gearbox.
hopefull when i send it home it will all pull back together. if not ill have to look at the wishbones,hubs and struts.
i feel a big bottle of vodka comming my way
and i dont mean a 75. i wont at least 1.0l
ok okaaaayhavent had time to even look at the car.
its my day off tomorrow so will find out soon enough
I must agree, the wishbones they have supplied you are not 5 gt turbo ones, have you not got your old ones to compair them too, you will see the triangle hole in the center of the wishbone is much smaller on a 5 wishbone.
compare yours with this one
