Hi mate had exactly the same problem recently, except when undoing nuts to take wheel off.
Take wheel is off soak hub with WD40 or similar perertrating fluid, carefully drilled a hole right through the bit of the nut left in the hub, then I used a stud extractor to wind it out. Have to admit...
Just did mine with this kit from ebay:

There was some kerb rash that I filled with some repair putty, its not a 100% job but okay for now. If you are going to do it yourself spend time on preparation...
Not had the car long as its off the road while I work on it over the winter, checking brakes on the offside and noticed the front spring has snapped about 4" from the bottom. I have only driven the car gently (back from where I bought it), so had not noticed.
They are Apex 150-40511 VA springs...
Can someone tell me the torque for the big bolt that holds the bottom of the shock to the subframe?
Also if there is a specified torque for the smaller 17mm nut at the top.
Done a search on here but cant seem to find anything.
Thanks

Just picked up a 172 Cup, needs some TLC so a winter project, just posted in garage section looking for a good independent who can sort a couple of things out for me.
