Hi all
I have decided to change the front anti roll bar bushes as there’s some clunking and visually they look tired.
My question is how do I remove the upper nut from the caps. I can barely see them let alone remove them. Any advice gratefully received

This may help.

I searched for "ARB".
Just a word of caution, I am waiting for some work to be done on my D4 (lockdown pending) as it also has the front-end dreaded clunk on road bumps. The 'professional' diagnosis for me was lower arm bushes (having been advised people often believe it to be ARBs). You might want to have a good look at the oil-filled bushes (or get someone who knows) before you go to the trouble of replacing the ARBs only to find it is not a cure.
Just my thoughts.
Good luck  "Track day running - Don't put your foot back on the accelerator until your absolutely sure you don't have to take it off again"

AS Kilovolt says check the lower arms first because I just booked mine in for the ARB to be done and when we checked they are ok and its the lower arms that need doing.

It's a PITA but you'll get there one click or 1/6 turn at a time. Other jobs on these cars can be far worse!
