removing front bolt out of r/h wishbone

[fleur322 0]

My car as just failed its MOT on the r/h rear wishbone bush :( . I am going to attempt change the wishbone my self, but noticed the the front bolt in the wishbone is really close to the sump. Do you need any specialist tools or is it a case of removing the sump? Cheers Linz

Err - what model do you have ??

 

Not sure about the VR but on 4 cyl models, there's no need to go anywhere near the sump when changing the front wishbones.

Guess = VR. IIRC you need to jack up the engine, having undone the rear mount.

Thanks for the info, you guessed right its a 1993 VR6. Is the the rear mount easy to undo?. Any tips.

I did it with a 16mm spark plug socket and a 4 or 5 extensions. Real easy tho. Don't do what I did and assume it was just the little 13mm nut on top holding it together.
