(1/3) > >>

 :'( Just seeing how the turret ring nuts were for removal, trying to think ahead for future work, slight tweak with a socket & ratchet drive and sheared straight of with out any effort  :oops: so only secure with 3 now am i ok to drive around for week or so like this, only be comute to work about 80 miles a day, no off roading....

Just need to break news to swmbo about £'s and another day out the back ignoring kids to repair and order turret rings, turrets, shocks and might as well do springs whilst its all out.,

Does anyone know if i can just support chassis lower diff slightly and then open up further with jack to get springs out?  did this to the rear this weekend and it was very successful.

Once again any help/advice appreciated.

I've kept what I took off mine to lift it.........

Turrets - grubby but solid.
Turret rings - ditto.
Dampers - only being kept incase it ever goes back to standard (I wouldn't use them by choice).
Springs - only being kept incase it ever goes back to standard (I wouldn't use them by choice).

As I am writing this, suddenly started to doubt if I kept the turrets.  :oops:

Let me know what you might be interested in and I'll let you know.

Many thanks, ordered whole lot from Paddocks today, standard fronts, pro-comp shocks, new turrets and rings.  Just hoping the pixies will fit them for me one night if i leave the tools and parts out, more than likely be the thieving goblins tho...
