Front Suspension Removal

   Cheers DH.  I'll bear it mind.  Your only a quick blast down the M5 and it'll halve the time with proper kit.

i borrowed an impact gun to get mine off

[richard s]

i welded a nut on a socket and slid allen key through nut and used a spanner on the nut and then as i didnt have the tool for the top mount i used a screwdriver and a hammer
pikey as fcuk but worked a treat

[Dinky]

even some swan neck spanners dont fit, i used some molegrips on a socket with the allan through the middle

Yeah i did the same as that seemed to work

Even I've done the job with a spanner and key Martz...
although, ratchet spanners ftw
