Jimbo73 Posted November 26, 2006 Report Posted November 26, 2006 I have the new stabilisers and I am about to change them. I tired to get my socket onto the bottom nut but there was not enough room behind the nut to get the bar on, so I am using ring spanners, should be alright for the top one's. Has anybody ever had these where they have been seized or do they just need a good whack.... Quote

Jimbo73 Posted November 26, 2006 Author Report Posted November 26, 2006 soak em with wd40 over night :D Done.... Soaked them last night. The new ones are slightly different to the old ones... The ones that i took off had a backnut on them that i had to put a spanner on to hold. The new ones just went straight on. I had a light problem on one of th new ones, as I was tightening up the bottom nut the whole tread started to turn so i had to grip the round bit at the back with long nose pliers. I was careful not to damage the rubber. Just gonna do a test drive at half time in the match. to listen for clunks.... Quote

You are welcome I'm sure :D Worth putting your car details in your signature, it may help someone else e.g. re: age - nuts are difficult to remove, it may also help others to help you if you ask a question :lol: Quote
