Done a few of these now and I leave everything in place and just undo the two bush bolts and cut the rubber inner off the lower arm if needed. This time round it pretty much fell off with a bit of a push.

Will sort me Dad's Astra with a service and hopefully another year's ticket next week, and then over Christmas get Big Ron my 75 ready for the MOT test - that might be a bit more of a challenge!

Cutting the inner metal part off is definitely the easiest way of removing the remnants of the bush, its a nice drive once these have been replaced.

Fitted a new power vis in my ZTT

Cleared some space in the garage and gave the old girl her winter prep: wheels off, cleaned and waxed; wheel arches cleaned including behind the arch liners; front springs examined and greased; handbrake adjusted; underside and wishbones/suspension brushed down and then given a top-up coating of Dynax UP; all systems, lights etc checked and FBH test run for 20 mins and finally polished the windows. Froze me

off so no more playing with cars this year
