It's not a hard job but the things you will need you haven't bargained for are these,

New link bars, you will find when you undo them the sockets will have rusted and may go cheesy,

New top suspension mounts, as these are rubbish to start with it makes sense to replace with new while you have the legs out

Tools you will need are

Windscreen wiper arm removal tool for getting access to the top mount bolts, you can slightly lift the panel but it tends to break on the drivers side if you do,

Various torx for getting the lower wishbone bolt out, link bar etc

One tip is keep a trolley jack under the lower wishbone unless you want the inner cvj to come out and the leg may not drop straight out of the wishbone and require a spreader or some brute force to get it to drop.

Thanks very much guys..Cheers!

The American B6 boys are using MKV guides.
