Righty o then,
we bought ( she who must be obeyed ) the little monster from spongebob just over a year ago. After a year of driving she had decided its a little to low and could i raise it up a little bit! Any way the backs were a walk in the park 40 mins with a make shift tool kit on a hill and woo hoo it was done. Now for the fun.
The fronts looked no problem i had the help of a couple of willing assistants ( and the statutory tea maker
) and we spent 2.5 hours half a can of wd40 several smashed knuckles and bruise on the funny bone!!!! ( why? its just not funny :nono
and a spring clamp flying off as one of the chuffing assistants epically failed! Anyhoo we give up as it s getting dark and decided to get some plus gas penetrating and releasing spray. after another 1/2 can and nearly 3 hours we had moved it 1/4 turn and 1 burnt hand from tipping tea on it. The blue locking ring is now a little mashed from trying to force it around and the c spanner if a pile of pointless crap! :lolup:
Is there any advice you gurus of clio wisdom can give to getting this thing off?
Does anyone know if you can get replacement locking rings for v - maxx if so where from as i have searched through ebay and tinternet? or alternatively will any other manufacturers locking rings fit? as i have found Bilstein ones and also ones on a capri site lol.
I ideally want to get this sorted this weekend as i am off for 4 days and its so frustrating that it won't move currently.![Mad :mad: :mad:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
