[stevie_f_2004 0]

Anyone got a step by step guide on changing the front top mounts????Can these be changed without removing the strut????I've checked ETOS and teh Bentley manual and nothing definitive however it looks possible. I do have the VAG top nut removers in anticaption and the top mounts and bearings have been in the garge for nealry 9 months now ???? A

 

I really don't want to affect the aligment so near to Christmas!!!!!

It can be done but you need some special spring compressors such as the Klann KL-0015 and they are very expensive.

Too be honest a good set of coil spring compressers and an open box spanner 21mm nut size---used a 22mm with no great difficulties and that's it!!!!!!!
