Hmmm....Where do i start...My friend asked me to help install some coilovers. I am confident in this stuff, but never worked on euro cars before. OMG. It took forever.
Complete hub disassembly, axle bolts, trying to split the strut/hub mount...Even the wipers were a bitch!
remove weather strip
A few tools that were a bit unordinary.
27mm axle nut, triple-square bolts (i used vice grips and a rattle gun to get this out).
You usual deep socket sets, hex set, tie rod splitters, an extra set of hands, rattle gun.
The pics didn't upload in any order @_@
- Splitting the tie rods, 18mm tie rod bolt
- Used a chisel to split the hub and a crap load of CRC
- 14mm 12point star bolt and 18mm nut
- disconnect ABS line and brake pad sensor
- axle was a bit stuck, so i bashed it out with a impact socket and rubber hammer
- 18mm nut connected strut to sway bar end link
# back breaking work!
- three 16mm bolts connect the ball joint to the lower arm
- scuffed the springs with my spring clamps.
what i didn't realise is you can completely unwind the coils and then tighten them up once you put the stock strut top onto the KW
- 21mm top mount bolt to remove the strut top
- Three bolts to remove the suspension top 13mm
13mm top strut tower bolts
