Advice, do's/do'nt, of changing rear wishbones.

Hi,

 

I'm soon to start changing my rear wishbones for a new pair I have bought, I had the rear of the car up in the air doing a few things so I thought I would have a look. I couldn't figger out how to get any kind of socket or wrench on the front most nut, it just seamed to be hidden in amongst the frame.

 

Also reading the manual it seams you have to take a lot of things off, ie, discs, suspension and other stufffff.

Has anyone got experience of changing these and could offer advice, or do I put it in a garage?

 

Thanks.

I helped my dad do mine last year and they didn't seem too bad to do. Took about 3 hours to replace all rear linkages on both sides. It can be a bugger if you get a particularly stubborn bolt but I don't think we struggled too much.

 

Wheels off, discs off, shockers off then give all the bolts a good dose of penetrating fluid, have a brew then come back and hopefully everything will come off without too much of a fight. It really wasn't as daunting as it seems.
