Pete Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 The rears did take a fair bit of pushing down on to wriggle out, but I did manage it without taking any arms off. At one point I managed to get it so I thought it wouldn't move in either direction ever again! Have a cup of tea and tackle it later with a fresh perspective.

Pete Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Just checked, the instructions on mkiv.com say to remove the caliper and stabilizer bar link. http://www.mkiv.com/manual/manualtt/shock_replacement/rs-1.jpg http://www.mkiv.com/manual/manualtt/shock_replacement/rs-2.jpg http://www.mkiv.com/manual/manualtt/shock_replacement/rs-3.jpg Yes, it was stabliser link I managed to round the thread on (beware!). I had to take this off to be able to get enough play to push the hub down. (Don't recall taking a caliper off though ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 LOL! I did it the other way to you Pete. I took the caliper off but not stabiliser link. I think taking the link off is probably the best way though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terribleturner Posted August 1, 2005 Author Share Posted August 1, 2005 I must admit that i didn't remove the stabilzer link as it didn't really look like it needed going. But i take it this is my down fall?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Have you got both rear wheels hanging down? How have you got it jacked up? Jacking it up from under the diff is no good. How should it be jacked up Jake? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
