irs arms, spring plates, handbrake cables, gearbox, axles, cv's, stub axles... thing thats about it?

17mm inhex socket and a breaker bar will get the arms off, keep the spacer/washers that come with them

you need a jig to align the new box section onto the torsion tube

if you dont get the correct alignement then forget about it

where r u located???

I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true

I did this about 2 weekends ago. Remove the brakes and backing plates, remove drive shafts, undo bolts holding everything to the springplate and then there is a big allen bolt on the front of the control arm, undo and pull out, remove the arm.
