acjmetalman1 10 Posted November 6, 2012 I can't find much in the search about replacing drop links. I had a go at doing it today on my vr. the bottom of the link where it attaches to the wishbone came off fine but the top threaded part of the drop link which screws strait into the end of the ARB has a 17mm nut. I have tried everything I can think of to remove this but it wont budge and now it's rounded off completely! Has anyone done droplinks before and had trouble removing them? any tips would be very helpfull. thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wesleyvr6 10 Posted November 6, 2012 Try heating the arb! A little heat goes a long way usually. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

acjmetalman1 10 Posted November 8, 2012 ok so I went and bought a blow torch from halfords and heated it up but the nut will not budge. I'm stuck and it's booked in for its re test later today :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted November 8, 2012 You tried Irwin bolt grippers? (Homebase sell them if you need them fast) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wesleyvr6 10 Posted November 8, 2012 Get the end of the arb as hot as you possibly can, then with a large pair of grips/water pump pliers undo, you may find it will come off easier if you undo then re tighten a little then undo, keep doin this and it will come off. Took me a little while to get my rusty ones off but I got there in the end. Good luck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
