I'm after an extra pair of hands in Nuneaton with an incredibly awkward steering box drop arm removal. :doh: :doh:

Just to assist and share bruised hands and fingers as it's becoming a drain on my human resources.


Any help would be gratefully received as soon as possible.
 
Have a look on the lzir map and see who's close then drop a text to Daft....someone might be sat around feeling bored

I'd do it for you but have trouble with the map on my phone :eek:

Thanks for the help mate. Although it was a bastid to get off we beat it in the end.

Enjoy the cake.
 
Thanks to everyone for the offers of help and a massive thanks to big Steve. Well he will be after eating all that cake. :D :D
 
they are such a poor idea, changed one once best way is box off cut arm off and fit with a disco one, they are track rod ends so the arm stays on the box for ever and you can just spin a new track rod end on with ease.

This one was properly welded on.

it took a serious amount of grinding and whacking with a very large hammer and a half shaft to get it off.
 
Take the nut off and drive down a rattly green lane/few kerbs etc, usually works but ends in death of driver :D
