hi need to know what size holes are to fit new balljoints are they 10-12mm??

 

[mr.pink87]

10mm non sport; 12mm RS models.

Is the Trophy not different???

 

[mr.pink87]

Don´t think so. Same wishbones afaik.

Always 12mm on a sport, 10mm will fit, but will knock their tits off.

is the bolt that goes through the hub threaded or does it just slide in/out when in place??

 

[welshname]

its threaded on 1 end to secure it with the bolt. but it isnt threaded in the middle.

so once iv got the nut off the bolt should slide out is that right?

 

[welshname]

Mine took a lot of WD40 and a lot of hammering as it had rusted into place. It is literally a 10min job. But stubborn bolts make it a lot longer.

See below image of my friend destroying a bolt with an angle grinder...

Just changed mine, the hub bolt gets siezed, once you get the nut off try turning the bolt in the hub breaks away all the rust, once it seems loose a few small taps with the hammer should see it come out

Yeah thats what we did. The angle grinder was for one of the bolts between the wishbone and balljoint
