#5: Re: strut bearing Author: kandlbarrett, Location: SwindonPosted: Sun Jul 08, 2012 4:36 pm ---- Pain in the a**e! Not hard but quite a few bits to disturb / remove and always a bugger reconnecting that lower wishbone.
Also very dangerous if you aren't used to using spring compressors.
Buy yourself a Haynes manual. It isn't the answer to everything but it always gives a clear idea of just how easy or hard a job is. Use the manual but ask what special tips others know here.
