its cool!. just make sure they are soaked in penertrating fluid for a while and go slow dont want the bolt snapping if they are in bad shape!

Thanks ive got a good week before ill be able to get round to doing it so plenty of time to get on it.

Just had another look at the guide ive only got basic tools so am i going to need to buy a Torque Wrench and axel stands? ive got a socket set and the jack that came with the spare wheel for the car but thats pretty much it lol. Thanks

could use axle stands if you wanted though

Cheers maybe just the axle stands then unless my mates got a decent jack. If I haven’t got a torque wrench when putting the wheels back on would I just ensure there pretty tight since I wouldn’t be able know if I had the specified torque but also don’t want my wheels to fall off?

thats what i use. socket and big juicer bar to make sure they on tight!

It will save me buying a torque wrench then. I’ll just have to hope if I get them off alright I will be able to get them back on tight enough.

As said above, don't bother with a torque wrench just make sure you use a decent jack and the car is always well supported. Also a long piece of pipe won't go amiss in case you get to some particularly tricky bolts
