ajh Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 When you get the front ends out, give the brackets a whack with a sledge hammer hard enough to spread them out about 2mm or so, a 2x4 makes a good "punch" for this, then when you go to slide the new arms into place you will have a bit of clearance to get things lined up properly to get the bolts into place and once you tighten them down things will go back into position. Just don't bend them too much and you won't see any fatigue issues. With LR tolerances the worst part of the job for me was trying to get things to line up on both sides well enough to get the bolts through and this helps immensely.

landroversforever Posted August 22, 2010 Author Share Posted August 22, 2010 They actually lined up perfectly in that way which surprised me! It was the castor issue that made life a bit more fun. Trying to rotate the axle was fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
