Mitchell Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 it aint that hard a job really. i reckon if your not mechanicaly minded you could do it in a good day just by looking at whats what and being methodical in your removing and remembering where it all goes.3 bolts and a locking plate at the end of each wishbone, 4 bolts holding the crossmember to the car, one bolt holding the linkage stay to the block,3 bolts holding lower rear gearbox /engine mount the other 2 will support the engine, as for the steering rack , 2 ways you could do it...1 remove the four 13mm bolts that pass through the subframe and leave in situ, fitting it to the new one while out,or.....2 remove track rod end nuts and the bolt/nut holding the rack onto the steering coloum,(sp)of course you will have to remove the exhaust aswell, if you need your car give it to someone else, if you want to learn and be able to say "I DID THAT" do it yourself lol. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
