Very quick question please chaps!

[Sheila’s’ Wheels’]

I'm fitting some coilovers to my Clio van tomorrow. Its a 1996 mk1 1.9d van btw.

Can Someone do me a list of tools needed and sizes? I'm borrowing all the tools off someone as all mine are in work and he wants a list tonight so he can get them from work tomorrow.

Fankoo.

Got a rough idea, dont take this as gospel tho..

Wheels: Breaker bar and 17mm and 19mm socket, perferably 1/2 drive
Hub - Damper bolts: Breaker bar with 21mm socket and a 21 mm spanner, copper / plastic mallet to knock them out.
Strut top: 21mm swan neck ring spanner and 5mm or 6mm allen key to hold the damper shaft.
Rear damper: 18mm bottom bolt and 21mm MULTI HEX! top bolt iirc? On a breaker bar, ratchet whatever.

Torsion bars gonna want to come out too.

Add a sledge hammer to that lot. They get everything done.

ahh, homo. You may be able to save me a job!

Do 16v coilovers fit 1.9d hubs??

 

[Rob]

Don't know what the top mount assembly is like on the mk1's, but you'll need a deep 17mm socket or a 17mm spanner to get the compression nut off if it's like a mk2.

 

[Fred@BTM]

no idea Danielsan, but i would imagine them to be the same

 

[Sheila’s’ Wheels’]

Ok fankoo everyone!

 

[Rob]
