I are on the road of togetherness.
The other swivel got demolished so the spare i got to replace the moog on the other side is trying to go on. Unfortunately the bolt holes don't line up, but i have a file. Job for tomorrow

Pressure tested the AC last week with UV dye and the condenser looks like an 80s pop star that had been shot with a shotgun. Holes everywhere. New condenser fitted today, regass, evaporated temp down to 1°.

Now we'll have 6 months of rain and cold.

Is that all you got out ! You ain't trying very hard I usually finish up with twice that amount out lol. When you resemble try the CV joint in several different places in the hub , I found when changing both fronts last year that they went in further to the hub in one place than another in fact one of them was nearly through enough to start the thread so hold the shaft give hub a whack with lump hammer and nut started enough to pull the shaft in, good luck

I'm just hoping I've not knackered the strut. I think i need to take the electrical bit off the top and see what i can see. Fingers crossed I've not killed it

Anyone know if the 2 bolts that bolt the knuckle to the strut are reusable and what the torque is?
It was all i could do to undo then

Don't know about the vd struts, but on the standard ones the strut only turned so far hence being handed. With the strut bolt a 2ft breaker bar and as much weight as you can put on it is close (so ft tight!)
