you're gonna be upto your elbows in sh!t mate.

why dont you ask them to angle grind throught the driveshafts, i'm sure they will.

i asked em to get them off for me, but since they are shuting up shop and selling off, they are too busy tidying up the yard so he said i have to do it... bit wounded! so am gonna go up now and have a crack myself., the drive shafts have been disconnected and so have the tie rods as far as i can tell, so might just take the hubs and shafts to a mechanic and get them to take the fookers off for me...

i didn't know they were shutting  :shocked: explains why the place looks a bit bare.

time to find a new old skool scrapyard where they let you climb on stuff.

Charlotte motors is ok but they're a bit pricey and that big fook off dog sh1ts me up.  :grin:

well, just spent an hour having a go, didnt even manage to get a single bolt undone. jesus, all of em are so tight.

well, plan B! borrowing my mates dewault(or however u spell it) battery powered grinder, gonna chop through the tie rods, drop the whole suspension leg out and do it like that, take it to motormates and get them to undo everything with an impact wrench.

hope that works!

so thats my lunch 2morrow!

deatons has a few golfs in apparantly, but they are quite a trek tbh...

OH YEAH! jammed my screwdriver in the disc and as predicted, it just bent and the nut didnt even move.

oh well!
