200 rs front shock pinch bolt

[jimbob200]

hey guys so just been fitying my new b14's to my Clio, and I have trashed a pinch bolt (pictured below I hope) and wondered if anyone has a part number to save time.

Also out of interest how do you get the hub low enough to free the shock?

Hub needs to come off iirc.

One nut on the bottom of the hub, steering and driveshaft?

I'd assume so yeah. I've never done it on these before.

@bloke will know.

Have you tried spring compressors ?

When we swapped B14's for KW's we used a small jack and metal bar on the damper body wing (the bit that the drop link bolts to) to push the damper up out of the hub (mind your fingers !!)

if you've got the right type of spring compressor that's the easiest way. single piece one with two c shaped cups that sit on the spring.

the normal ones don't really fit in and are a pain to use due to lack of space.

Ahh yeah, didn't think of spring compressors.

Oh and the part number for the pinch bolt is 7703002179

only done a few though so don't know if there's an easier way that i've missed?
