colintandy:
looks like im gonna get some knacked knuckles again spent 12 hrs couple weeks ago re-fitting my series 111 88 inch with new cpc parabolics and es1000 gas shockers all i can say is pass the grinder if it all goes pete tong then ill turn it upside down and make a bbq all invited of course
 thatl please the neighboughs!  roast the rover will make a new meaning to engine compartment meals

Range Rover Blues:
It's worth spending an afternoon making sure all the nuts/bolts will come out first.  Undo the nuts a turn or so then see if the bolt will spin in the bush.  One of my radius arm bush-bolts was seized to the bush, behind the axle of course.  Took me 3 hours to remove :evil:  which made the radius arms a day's job with a piar of arms ready prep'd to go on (QT of course).

Don't worry if the nut won't go all the way down the thread, as long as the bolt is free you can cut the rusty exposed thread off BEFORE trying to remove the nut (use LR special tool #2, the angle grinder).

Budgie:
I'd go along with that Andy, I already know I'm going to have problems with the two bolts that hold the A-frame balljoint to the arms, the nuts come off without a problem but the bolts are stuck in the balljoint mounting so a little heat there as well!!  :twisted:

beast5680:
i was very jammy i must admit as all the bolts came undone no probs on my 1990 V8, however on my 1998 300tdi which has never been offroad i had to cut  the bolts off the rear arms and the front ones as they were completly seized

hobbit:
I'm luck I have access to a hydraulic press, thank god.

Mind you my mate was at Newark Autojumble last sunday and someone had a nice one there, he didn't have enough pennies to get it though, pity
