Title: Rear drop links
Post by: plym ian on 07 August 2013, 21:11:18

How do you get it off. Tried today but couldn't get drivers side off. Got bottom bolt out easy but couldn't get off the roll bar sprayed with wd40 but still couldn't get it off. Any ideas please,
 cheers Ian

Never had an issue, it just pulls out from the suspension arm?

You'll just need to keep at it mate - the rubber can bond itself to the bar.  Of course, method of removal will depend on what you need to re-use  ;)  Try a long-reach socket over the end of the bar to knock it slightly further on, this should free it off and let you remove it.
