Hi Vaughan
Thank you that is appreciated.
You may well have completed the job by the time you read this post, when you or members started this job take a little time to clear the muck around the top joint.
1
Remove the bottom joint first.
2
Once the nut as been removed pop the link out of the stabilising bar.
3
You can now have a go at cracking the top nut on the drop link, remember I am using ground down spanners to help get the ring spanner over the thread onto the nut, and an open ended spanner also with it's shoulders ground flat so it fits into the gap if needed.
Use the flat on the link to turn the link rather than trying to undo the nut.
4
Once you have managed to back off the link a little you could use an hacksaw with a new sharp blade in to cut the link, use small controlled movements it only takes about a minutes or two to get half way through.
5
Once half way through you can then bend the link and it will snap off.
6
7
Do this the other side also it saves taking an age to get the top nut off as it is always rusted onto the thread.
Add the new drop link do the top nut first then the bottom
8
Good luck I hope it all went well for you Arctic.
