Last one I had stripped down and fitted coil overs on was my fabia vrs and that had 38k so everything moved easier. The 75 is almost on 78k so everything's dirtier and seized on lol.

I know it's possible to split them but I can't get the pinch bolt to move, hopefully an early start tomorrow and some brute force will see it moved.
Is it nut and bolt just below the shock absorber your trying to get out or the one at wishbone, better the nut and bolt higher up, theres a split in that one, you can put chisel in split ,open it up a bit while holding bolt with socket, loosen nut with another spanner ,soak it with plusgas or similar .
