Ball joint fork was useless and yes, destroyed the dust cap..

In all honesty I tried a 2 leg puller in conjunction with my breaker bar bit it broke

Hum, tried all except the middle one... Looks like I may be purchasing a new tool tomorrow

I am having a hell of a job separating the ball joints from the lower arms on my newly acquired uk na rev3. Iirc i used to smack the lower arm with a lump hammer until the little beggars separated.

Some etch primers are available with zinc in t...

I have dismantled the suspension, but how can I tell if the dampers are ok?

I've got the heatshields off, there is a metal fuel pipe with a union nut on, this is seized, but I think I can get round this by unbolting the hard pipe from the fuel filter and removing the lot. It's proving difficult as I have an xspower downpipe with cat, so it...

Nice thread, thank you.

Just what I was looking for thank you

The 'boots' are shot to pieces, how can i tell (when I dismantle' if the dampers will be reusable?

Also what would the best lowering springs be considering I am going (dare I say it) Veilside
