monkeyb0y Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Failed on front number plate delaming and to front nearside draglinks ... one behind axel attached to steering damper and one at front of axel attached to steering box...I've got 2 new ones...the old ones are very dry and rusty/ flakey..any tips for getting them off ... I haven't got serious heat...only a blow lamp.... It's looking like a bitch job with the corrosion but I'm over the moon....

Range Rover Blues Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Blowlamp will do. Put loads of WD40 on it before you start. I take the link right off then put one end in the steering box and rest the other end on a brick, then grasp it with Stilsons and get mad with it. i have snapped the thread bit off a balljoint once, so make sure you grip the body of the balljoint not the spindle. I've only ever had 1 that wouldn't come off but TBH a new drag link is £20, on the RRC/Disco you also need thew adjuster peice which , oddly, costs more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
