Grande Punto How To Replace Stock Springs Front + Back

[Dukeman]

This great guide gave me the confidence to tackle this activity. One other tool required is an allan key for the top of the front shock and a screwdriver to access the top of it. Followed it and managed to complete the whole change with cleaning wheels etc in around 3-4 hours. Got a bit stuck when allan key split the end of one shock so need help with airgun to remove and replace the bolt.

Many thanks for the guids.

Can anyone convert the torque settings to newton meters?

Half way through doing this and got stuck after not being able to understand the torque settings haha

Great guide, however to remove the damper, shock... Whatever it is for the rear spring bolt, u need, or at least for my 57 plate, a star socket. An E18 it is called, popped into fiat about it and asked the mechanic as with the thousand sockets I have lying around like I imagine most going to tackle this, wasn't in my collection. Cudnt even take a propa look at the bolt as didn't trust my axel syands with my life so I hope this helps. Spot on guide though it turns a minefield into an ikea cupboard instruction sheet!

Simply multiply by 10. For future reference for anyone.
