[NHN]

That was classic man, had me falling of the sofa, whats that new thread you opened as link didnt work man.

 

[The Slug]

it was a arm made of cake PMSL

 

[NHN]

Come on show me, gotta see this one, lol

 

[bigblokey0]

anyway back on subject lol i got to change it as its ****** is it an easy job do i need any special tools and how much am i looking to have to spend on one ?

 

[NHN]

Is that with or without cake, lol, sorry had to.

I just re-read this thread & peed myself again, its fnny as feck.

Anyway, new arm comes with bushes on doesnt it, I would say its just some large sockets or spanners given the size of it, any closeups as not in UK at mo so cant go check mine.

Someone on here must have done an arm on these or other car.

 

[bigblokey0]

its just that it looks different ?????

 

[bigblokey0]

ive currently got the arm off took a while talk about fiddly however i cant seem to get the new one on which end do i stick in first the big end or the little end with the ball joint on ?

 

[NHN]

Surely if you took old one of then the new one should be obvious how to go on mate

 

[bigblokey0]

yea it was i used a big hammer to knock it on in the end

problem was the bolt that came out was huge and kept rubbing up against the fuel lines which made me a bit nervous but its done now
