Dr_Doom Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Anyone know if this can this be done without removing the suspension wishbone? Can the shock be fiddled out once the bolts are undone? Is there a guide for this anywhere? I have searched but couldn't find one. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uk-rich Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 not really, its pretty straight forward, just slide the long bolt out and the shock comes out a treat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike M Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Mind you wont get the long bolt out with the arch liner in place and if its the passenger side you still wont get it out cos of the washer bottle being right in the road.

T2 MSW Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 I replaced the fronts on my NA without removing the upper wishbone, unbolt the mount to the lower wishbone undo the top bolts and yet it just wiggles out! Drop the lower part of the arm past the lower wishbone and there is loads of room. Planning on doing the TT this weekend dependant on the weather.
