Fitted the very same wishbones from VSC this last weekend, superb quality :y

I'm still not sure if I need them or not, but cheaper than another alignment.  Did you need any other tools than those in the guide?

EP: What spanners do I need with the compressors?

Everyone: What tools do I need to take the strut apart?

Cheers.

I need to get ready to change my wishbones and shocks.  I looked through RMCB's guide on the wishbones and droplinks, and that seems to require the following tools;

Long extension
Spanners: 17, 18, 21
Sockets: 18, 21

What else do I need to change the shocks too?  Spring compressors?
OK, took the trusty plastic verniers out and this is what I found;

Top of front strut: Nut 24mm, Shaft 11mm (hex)

Top of rear shock: Nut 16mm, Shaft 7mm (2 flats)
