Yea mate, i dropped the axle all the way down. Actually had to hold the springs in place while jacking the axle back up as there was that much of a gap they were falling back out.

How did you guess.... I never post on it, but this weekend thought it might help with quick responses. Typical of some people to act like that, but its life and you will always get it.

Thanks again mate! All sorted. Will update my progress thread ha

All sorted now so a massive thanks for everyones help! And an extra thanks for no silly posts and you all being genuine! Exactly why cliosport gets my £12 every year! Worth at least 10x that!

Ha! The garage I went to had a rite laught together when I said it to them!! I do know the difference, not sure why I have wrote it and said it out load that way!

How this is meant to allign up with the bolt spacing i will never know!?!? It is too big

Problem i now have is the top cup seems to be slanted but im sure the springs are linged up correctly.

Update: I took it to a garage and they took the nuts off for me in 2 minutes. I had £3.50 in my wallet and gave them that for helping me out. Ha

Cheers. On this picture, does the spacer part go under the m14x1 bolt i need then? Or does that form part of the very top part of the mount that you would see from the engine bay?

Ok mate, thanks again. ny ideas if Renault actually sell that bol seperatly then? Why it doesnt come with new top mounts confuses me! @Dr Jekyll is this the bolts you might have spare at home?

Thanks mate. I cant work out why they are not sold with both bolts that you need then. So the bolt pictured on ebay advert is the very top part. The bolt on my coilover currently that i need and get get free seems to have a collar piece on it too and not just a straight forward bolt. Unless im...

Thanks for your help mate. So, the bolt pictures in the ebay add. Is that the bolt for the damper /springs / metal cap and lower part of the top mount. Or is that the bolt that is the very final piece which you would see from the engine bay keeping the very top part of the top mount on?

Am i getting confused here. Ok, so the ebay link with the picture, that appears to be missing another bolt doesnt it? Or is that a new design where the bolt is seperate to the very top piece of the top mount? Look at these pictures. My very top piece of top mount is all one part, it doesnt...

It isnt the very top bolt i need that you can see from the engine bay at the turret on the very top of the top mount. Its the bolt that holds the shock and spring together.

Thanks mate. I take it i need to buy a m14x1.5 seperatly ? The picture of the top mount on ebay link looks different to mine. The very top part of mone seems to be all one piece with the bolt rather than seperate. If that makes sence? Do you know if euro car parts would do the top mounts? And...

And am i missing a rubber cap from the bottom of the damper? Its spring direct on to the metal

Im thinking about buying some new top mounts but i assume they wouldnt come with the bolt i need off the coilover...? If not, does anyone know if i could buy this bolt seperatley and what size it would be? @Tony Hunter @Dr Jekyll

Will try again tomorrow but thats what i was doing earlier and there was no moving at all

It just twists the shaft. So you need 2 spanners on it at the same time.

Thanks again mate @Dr Jekyll That 17mm nut will not move at all though. Any suggestions?

T thanks mate, will do. On with the front now and so far it has been easier than the rears, but im stuck with this and dont know how to remove it.

Thanks. Looks so high i thought something must be wrong

It was down

Does this look normal? You can see the silver bar that goes into the damper.

Yea mate, completely removing them. It failed the MOT for the fronts. I have been wanting to go back to standard for a while so this has spurred me on to have to actually do it. First time I have ever done it.

We finally got it! Heated again and used a long bar with allen key attachment and it finally cracked loose.

Had it heated with a blow torch and it will still not move! Not sure what to do now

Does this bolt need to come out?
