  1. Right....ive got front and rear 30mm lowering spirngs for the 225 PH2. Is there a guide on how to change them? Any tips or advice?
     
  2. well.....ive spent 2 hours trying to get the front shock out with no fcuking luck......any help would be appreciated
     
  3. these are the same type as golf mk4s lots of wd40 and leaver them down rather than hitting the hub . You need a scaffold bar realy .
     
  4. whats the scaffold bar for mate? I had another pop this morning with no luck lol
     
  5. you need to push the swivel hub down to pop the shock out of it

  6. Mate ive tried everything i can think of to get the bottom out of the hub. Its about half and inch that stops it from coming out. Im suprised there isnt a how to guide for this
     
  7. try taking the anti roll bars links off as this will hold it also but it is just brut force
     
  8. When i took the hubs of last to do swivel bearings i had WD40 sprayed all round, bolt out, big bar (and i mean massive 4ft long thing prying down) and then smacked the ally hub carrier with a big hammer. Came out a treat.
