Cant be that hard, never done one but looks like you just take the nut off that holds it to the hub, mark out where it sits on the rod then unscrew, i think lol.

They are bitches. Complete bitches. Reno must have realised this as the one I replaced was much better engineered than the OEM one fitted.

Really? didnt think they could be that hard.

Not that hard at all. Get the tracking done when your done too.

Good idea to replace the pair when 1 goes?

might aswell as the WHEEL ALIGNMENT (please stop refering to it as tracking, its a tacky word used by kwik fit) has to be done anyway

if they're rusted on you'll have fun!

ty guys got my disks and pads to do to before i take it back for its MOT retest. hope it passes this time

Probably for the best mate, every time I've taken mine in for alignment they have had to blow touch them to get them adjusted. They can rust up pretty bad

The mechanic that look's after my car, put one of these in for me for my MOT retest . He got the part and fitted for £10 . Which i thought was pretty spot on. And booked in for MOT retest and flew through

A wee coat of Waxoyl underneath goes a long way
