Drop links worry

Post by D9406 »

My drop link, drivers side, has been clunking for a few weeks now and so as I had the parts to hand and nothing to do I decided to tackle the job. After reading posts on the forum from people who have changed theirs I geared up for the worst. 15 minutes from jacking car up to back onto it's wheels. I may have been lucky but there was nothing to it, allen key in the bolt, open ended spanner and off it came. Coated replacement in Copperslip and bolted it in place, job done. Then sit back in the sun with coffee in hand and Hobnobs, :D

Clutch changed @110k, bottom pulley changed, cam belt changed, EGR blanked, cat removed, front springs changed.

ye they are pretty easy with the allan bolt in the center of the bolt. the cheaper ones dont have this so grinding them off is the only way sometimes.
with plenty of copper grease all over the bolt and nut they should be easy to remove again.
