I got the first bolt out of the bush housing but trying to work under the car for the second one was impossible for me.

The car needs to be up in the air or over a pit to get good access. Had to give up.---


I told a friend about my problem and it turns out he has a pit.
Next week he said I could use the pit and he would lend a hand too. He has a French friend with an R75 and a few weeks ago he helped that friend change his front arms.

Serendipity.-----

Managed to do the right hand side one on my car yesterday.

Used a couple of standard ring spanners.

Much easier to do with the track rod end ball joint unbolted.

The hardest part of the job was trying to reinstate the two 18mm bolts.

Helped a bit with a trolley jack under the bottom of the suspension arm.

The lower arms I recently bought from Autodoc had TRW stickers on the bags.

They should be quality lower wishbone arms, do let us know how they perform over time, even better at a great price from looking on their site.
