Ian Daly Posted June 6, 2015 Report Share Posted June 6, 2015 Hi AllAs title says, I'm just about to change the old and decidedly tired rear (2000 Lupo SDi) for new, anything nasty I need to be aware of, or if anyone has written on the topic can they point me to it?CheersIan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarosa Posted June 6, 2015 Report Share Posted June 6, 2015 Its dead easy, grab some WD-40 for the bottom bolts and mole grips to grab the flats on the top of the struts and away you go. if you can fit new bumpstops too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Daly Posted June 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 Thanks all, was going to do this next Sunday, last Sunday was changing the front pads, however some 5 hours later following much wailing and swearing I decided I need some new discs, arse! There goes this Sunday!CheersIan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
