Disco 200 TDI Rear Shocks

Just a bit of a whinge really doing the shocks on my Disco one side goes reasonably well but then on the other side the bastard top bush sleeve is siezed on gonna have to grind it off which would have been OK except I havent got an angle grinder to do it with!!!!

All it takes is a bit of grease on the shaft of the mounting FFS

Now I'm gonna have to source a grinder tomorrow and I cant even drive the car into town to do it!

All because some **** was in a bit of a rush to get a job done!

why dont you undo shocker mount and whack sleeve with hammer to stretch and free it

Pretty much thinking along the same lines think thats all i can do to be honest (after some thought)

Its just a pain in the arse that I have to do it that way!

How likely are the mounting bolts to snap? that'd be Just my luck

17mm socket never had them snap not like tow bar /tie down brackets bolts

Cheers JamesMartin, useful mine of info as always!

Eureka got it off had to go to the workshop at CJ Down coaches in Mary Tavy luckily just across the road where they heated it up for me big thanks to them Absolutely no way I woulda got it off otherwise

Moral of the story is that if ya doing shocks make sure you grease the top mount shaft when you put the shock on!!!
