Tommy_G Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 some people say i would... some say i could fit the back.but need special spring compressers for the front.some people have said get it done pro.So which is it?Cheers tom Quote
Idrees Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 Best way is to go pro, but if your little handy then do it youself.You'll just need a clamp to hold the springs coils together so its doesnt bounce out! My mates used a rope to really tighten the coils together, but poeple say that was daft and he should have bought the clamp! Quote
Stevie B Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 i've had to replace 2 top mounts on my coilies, i had to get motorbike clamps as the car ones was too big, get the pro's to do it S. Quote
Stevie B Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 Do it yourself. DO IT YOURSELF!you could do it for him?!? im simply too far away.... Quote
Idrees Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 Tom i'd do it a low price but your distance away! Quote
Sparky Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 Its not hard but its not expensive do get done eitherLooking at about £70 for a garage to do it Quote
Tommy_G Posted March 6, 2007 Author Posted March 6, 2007 well then may get a quote...do you need to compress both of them? as in front and back...i was told the back ther is no need to compress. Quote
Tommy_G Posted March 6, 2007 Author Posted March 6, 2007 good then ill get a quote just for the front Quote
paul w Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 If you like your teeth to stay in your head get a pro who knows what they are doing.Some things you can bodge yourself,but thats one job i'd leave to an expert. Quote
Nanglebadger Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 im afraid i have to side with paul on this one, i'd rather my lower jaw wasnt made into a jigsaw on the garage floor to be honest. i'd leave it to someone who knows exactly wot they're doin.Phil. Quote
Idrees Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 Good points there, but i'd still do it myself!! Quote

Guest Enzo Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 my sentiments too, atleast get it done by a pro once to see how he does it....... Quote

Glanza_Ragger Posted March 8, 2007 Posted March 8, 2007 piece of piss matey. as long as you have some common sense.use 2 spring compressors for the spring removal. and make sure there clamed properly, otherwise the spring will pop off and so will your face other than that, easssy. half hour each corner at the most.

prangers Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 nah do it yourself.....i did mine was a peice of piss even without the clamps...... i think from what i can remember i fired the top mounts off against the wall lmaothe lowering springs are obviously under less tension anyways so are easily compressed my hand to get the top mount back on Quote
