cheers for the advice mate might look into the tool i work in a garage so most tools are at my disposal so might just have to get the spreader your on aboutProbably the hardest job is releasing the strut from the hub. I bought a special tool from VW that you insert into the back of the hub which spreads it so the strut slides out easily, only costs about £12. Apart from that just make sure you have all the right tools to undo the appropriate nuts etc even down to the spline bits for undoing the track rod ends and drop links.
The backs are a doddle to do
If you have all the bits it's a couple of hours, if not, it can be best part of a day!!
haha yeah agreed on the coffee bit esp as i'll prob be getting up early to do them i dont fancy a trip to the hosbital because of me being half asleep, yeah i cant wait to see what she looks like when doneAs said fella. Right tools for the job
