kdh Posted April 24 Report Share Posted April 24 Is it difficult to replace two rear drop links with the minimum of skill, tools and talent? I have bought the parts. I've got a trolley jack and a spanner to undo the wheel nuts and a few other spanners but I think I need a torque wrench to tighten them up? I'm not skimping on taking it to the garage but it's a bit of a pain and a friend says they are a doddle. Thought I'd better check here of course. TIA 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TROOPER88 Posted April 24 Report Share Posted April 24 Pay your specialist £200. Not worth the hassle at home tbh. You could undo the 18mm just to see if they are seized and if they are (they will be) leave it for the Indy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, I’m a massive advocate of people having a go 😄 If you undo the 18mm and the other side turns, happy days, it’s not seized and a 10 min job.

½cwt Posted April 24 Report Share Posted April 24 A seized drop links requires you to be a dedicated DIYer with some pro standard tools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxsum Posted April 24 Report Share Posted April 24 Replaced all 4 on mine the other day with TRW ones, they all came out easy, guess it just depends on the car. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
