This is my first guide, and pictures will soon be uploaded to offer clear guidance!
Safety
All Round
Safety
- Use gloves (To give you better grip, avoid cuts and also stops you getting covered in rust and oil)
- Have a nearby mobile phone or somebody spare to be beside you
- Do not use axel stands on an uneven surface, make sure it is level
- Have patience, you need a lot of force in certain areas but if you feel something is unsafe, it probably is so do take your time and have your wits about you
All Round
- WD40 (I used a product called shock and unlock, frees up rusted/seized bolts and nuts which was a huge help)
- Hydraulic Jack
- Axel Stands (Pair of)
- Heavy Duty Ratchet (I used a 1/2 inch bit for extra force)
- Swearing (lots and lots)
- E18 Socket (Star Shaped) to match Ratchet obviously
- 17mm Socket
- 17mm Wrench
- 18mm Deep Socket (Important, has to be Deep!)
- 18mm Wrench
- Spring Compressors
