I had a good battle with one of these one night. Like said above, clean the threads on the bottom of the car best you can. I then wrapped a fair amount of masking tape round the edge of the bolt and smashed a socket on. Think I cut as much of the bottom of the bolt off as I could and then...
Cheers dude! Got a few quick iPhone snaps on the way home tonight, will get some proper pictures soon :)
Ive got some 10mm -1 degree camber spacers coming soon and planning on getting some 20mm front spacers.
Haven't really had a chance to give the car a proper blast yet due to the...
I believe wet side means the passenger side, as when you remove it your gearbox fluid will piss out all over your driveway :) Im sure someone will be along to confirm.

Stu, you could of put a deposit down on a castle ;) hehe
Think I've spent about £1500 on it, about £900 this month!
Got my Pure Motorsport solid top mounts on! Got some 10mm -1 degree rear spacers coming soon, also need to get some 25mm from spacers for the front as im looking to run about -2 degrees camber. Cant wait to get it back on the road and the tracking done near the end of February!
Fitted Spax RSX coilovers, Powerflex ARB + Wishbone bushes and new ball joints last week and finished it off today by fitting Pure Motorsport solid top mount! nom nom nom
They aren't proper garages! Proper garages have dirty floors, tools everywhere and old/broken parts sitting on every flat surface! They are showrooms above!
Im so undecided about getting a 3/4 front plate. They look really good but I don't really want to run the risk of the £60 fine as I can't do with wasting £60!
If I was you I would take it off because no doubt that police car will be looking out for you.
Sounds like the problem I had, was the bottom of the manifold just hitting ARB under hard acceleration. Powerflexed my dogbone mount and it seems to have stopped it!
Got mine in not a problem with the washers. Managed to leaver the wishbone enough to get the washer in the top then leaver the wishbone the other way and gently tap the washer down with a hammer.
My problem came getting the wishbone off. Had to get the grinder out and cut one of the bolts off!
Silver 172 parked outside the Comiston shop - sure the owner is on here.

I was in the Vitara so non of you will of seen me!
I put the fear of death in my Mrs so she is too scared to drive the Bean. She has driven it a couple of times but only out of necessity rather than wanting!
Once picked my car up from a garage after a service, driving home I could smell oil. When I got home I realised straight away that they hadnt put the oil cap back on. I phoned them and they had a look around and couldnt find it so told me to drive back to the garage, they gave me some cash and...
