Rounded off top mount

[LB197]

Hi guys does anyone know any tips to get a rounded off top mount off at all? Was lowering my car and lowered all the other corners and this happened so...

What's rounded ?

The thin 18mm nut on the front suspension by any chance?

yep thats the one, was trying to get a clamp round the top mount but i havnt got anything big enough, only thing i can think of is going to a garage to to get that one off and put a new one on from euro car parts

You won't get the nut from euro car parts and Renault have discontinued it unless you can find some old stock somewhere.

I did did the same to mine with a impact gun, I wasn't paying attention and blew the nut apart.

oh no sorry not the bit that holds the spring in, the actual top mount its self like the bit you can see in the engine bay, so its a solid part with the nut incorporated, just need to get it off to put another on.

Oh those, yeh you should get them from ecp. Easy to change but easier with a gun. If you were near slough I would do it for you.
