Windy Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 u j's on and wibbly wobbly gone cheers guys Can I ask how long the job took you, and did it require any tools/equipment not found in a home garage? Just building the knowledge base for future reference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windy Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 ramps or pit? Have had the track up on basic car ramps, you now the welded angle iron type. Gives reasonable access to the underside in the absence of a lift/pit. Other than that, just have the basic assortment of tools found in the normal garage. Other car is a Lotus, so tools often needed!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bignoel Posted January 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 my mechanic had a lift so it was easy 2 hrs but if i had had a dry area a good trolly jack would of done for me for the lift because there is room under there but i am quite a big guy its hard to keep turning over just need that extra foot lift .and basic garage tools needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
