of course this assumes the nuts will come undone and that the top bracket doesn't shear off...it has been known to happen

It's an easy job if the fixing all come undone, but it's a Land Rover

Of course on some RRC's and I suspect early disco's they don't have a nut but use a split pin to retain the top of the damper easy'er still.

yep, mine sheared off, be carefull, maybe soak them in WD40 for a while before you try to do the job.

there are covers in the wheel nuts used on alloy wheels. They aren't meant to come off, but....they corrode on the inside which makes them swell so you can't get your 27mm socket on to undo the nuts and sometimes, as you have found, they come loose all by themselves. I got so fed up with them that I removed all of mine...this means the nuts are slightly small for the 27mm socket and can lead to them rounding off...
