Job for the weekend if I get some time.
I've already changed all the belts / pulley etc so have already had the fan off. Hoping its fairly straight forward but probably not. No gas in the system. However it looks restrictive.
DM is probably best to advise and then I'll x3 for us amateurs!
That’s what i also thought being a weekend job, day to remove and day to reinstall
Plenty of tea breaks of course
Thks and plse let us know how u get on, of course not saying guinea pig

Hi Geoff
Many thks , suppose like everything if those torx bolts come undone ok
Because I’ve got a messed up back would take me 3-4 x days to do, it wouldnt matter as I’ll just plod along till it’s done
At least it’s not a rear upper wishbone , don’t fancy doing another one of those in a hurry , also not having to crawl under the landy is a bonus
Thks again

Hi Geoff
Many thks, also at least will have room to get a decent bar on any tight bolts
That’s what half the issue was on the rear wishbones was lack of room and having to cut the bolts off
Found a dremel with the flexable drive shaft very useful to zip the drop link bolts off
After replacing them and then I had them all aligned made the world of difference , slight wander I had disappeared and remains very planted now , was worth the hassle
Passenger side is ok for now but will change it at some stage, in 6 x months time

LR O rings are not green.
Forget to order the oil (ND 8 = PAG46)

oil isn't essential for O rings.
Vaseline will do, or nothing

I can vouch for that. The genuine ones are indeed black. I know I just changed them all. I used silicone grease (sparingly) to lubricate the assembly process. Jarrod
