Hi guys as per the title, im trying to change the lower arms on the beastie but am having problems. the passenger side is off but when i went to put the new one on i noticed that the mounting thats furthest to the rear of the car is not attached and turns around so that one is going back on monday. so on to the next i thought, working front to back, how on gods green earth do you get the second bolt undone? none of me spanners willo get on too it and allow me enough space to turn. Are ther any tricks to putting them on as well, as it looks like they me be interesting to line up.

Cheers guys.

If you're referring to the Front Lower Control Arms, you're gonna have a right job with those. I ended up having my P2 car taken to a garage on a flatbed after breaking my driveshaft trying to get the things off.

If you're not sure, take it to a garage, it might end up costing you less in the long run.

Regards

James
