Post by: exodus_ste on January 07, 2013, 06:49:16 pm

Quick help needed here. Im just changing my front lower wishbones for S3 ones along with a SALK. How the bleeding hell do i get the bolt out of the passenger side inner bush?? It winds out into the side of the gearbox!?

Many many many thanks in advance! :notworthy:

Well the sh*t has hit the fan..... The two smaller bolts that hold the castor bush console on have sheared.   :sad:

I simply cant see any way round this apart from dropping the subframe and drilling the bolts out!

What an evening.
