king/link pins
Hi out there,wondering how hard it is and if the average tinkler can replace king pins and link pins themselves...or... is it wiser to take the
assembly off and take it to a shop.Any thoughts and words of wisdom greatly appreciated.

Hey mate.
I'm located in Yeppoon. Would be happy to give you a hand to rebuild the front end in your car, it's something I've done before in my Baja, check
out page 24 of my build thread.

I'll send you through a PM with my mobile number, always happy to help out fellow dubbers! Especially when they choose to live in a lovely place like
Yeppoon.
Look forward to hearing from you.

If you said I was a Volkswagen man, you'd be right.
