frank c Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Should be quite straight forward Cathy.. Just mind and get your geometry done again Link to comment
notsosmall Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 If you are fitting them as they are ie with springs fitted, then is a straight forward exchange for your own if the springs are to be changed then is slightly more difficult and time consuming. To just change the struts complete, remove 2 x 19mm bolts at the bottom, brake pipe and abs sensor wire then the 3 small nuts at the top and it will come off , but sometimes the bottom 2 can be a pain to remove and remember to mark the these bolts and get them back to as close as possible they affect the tracking/alignment which you should really have done after it anyway So get you spanners out and get to it Link to comment
cullenmin Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Good luck fitting these Cathy, remember to take some before and after photos Rich Link to comment

frank c Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Ta Frank have sourced the place in Edinburgh for that too CLCM per chance ?? I've been there a couple of times but wasn't impressed the last time though. I asked for fast road settings and he gave me uk turbo standard settings.. hence, that's why i'll be going through to Progrip the next time Link to comment
cusco kid Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Ta Frank have sourced the place in Edinburgh for that too hi cathy ,the spring platform at the rear struts can be different on the wagon so watch out, compare the rears together and see if the spring platform are the same height ie measure from bolt hole at the top to platform if same thats ok kiddo cheers geo Link to comment
kookamunga Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 just a wee word off warning for the bottom bolts,the top one is a shoulder bolt Keep the bolt still (don't turn it) just turn the nut if that makes sense. Any problems don't hesitate to give us a shout Link to comment
Midnight21 Posted August 19, 2009 Author Share Posted August 19, 2009 Hi all thanks for all your advice re fitting these, thats them on now and wow what a difference so booked in on saturday (Pro Grip and BobbyC for coffee LOL) for geometry set up, I'm afraid I didn't get a chance to do them all myself (had to get some help from my friend) due to being really busy at work but must admit they were quite straight forward, Cheers Link to comment
