Easy job mate few spanners 17mm or 19mm, tape measure, some WD40 or GT85 etc

There is a detailed guide in the downloads section that confused the shit out of me when I wanted to do mine but it all becomes clear when you're under there

Don't want to scare you but have a look at the thread i started fiberglass wings in bodywork, you can see what to expect

and they are right in what they are saying, get them done ASAP, it will only get worse and quicker than you think!

Morning All
had a look under the bus this morning and now see what I'm suppose to be looking for.... there are two, one for each side is that correct? Do I need to do the whole torsion bar set up or just alter the bolts? is there a set gap between the tyre and arch? and what are the adjustment of the nuts clockwise higher /lower.... Sorry if I sound stupid but I'd rather know some basics before starting it to find myself knee deep in parts....

That's the one.

It's easier if you jack the whole front end up, if you have a trolley jack.

Don't do too much at once, do a bit and let it down off the jack and let it settle, (take it for a drive round the block)
if you are not happy do it a bit more.
