OEM are ok as long as there not damaged getting the OEM shocks off.

I've not changed my droppings and I'm now lower than b14s

spot on, cheers mark. Buying spring clamps this morning then going to give the fronts a go!!

Just hope the top mounts bit go ok!

What did you change to @T6180

Bit of help in getting this off without breaking? Wipers and plastic ? Cheers

Screw the wiper nut on a turn or two. Wd40 the spline. Pull arm base and tap nut to shock it free.

Or use a set of plyers or mole grips across the wiper bottom and nut too to pop it.

So basically it’s just a very snug fit....

Any special tool needed or top mount nut?? I’m on my way to Halfords now

 

[Dellmassive]

Yes very tight on tapered spline.

You could try a puller if they are corroded on....... like this guy.

But a bit of force is cheaper.

They’re not bad.. vans a 18months old , ill put some force into it when I’m back.

Just gently pulled mine out of the way while I undid the plate to get to the top mounts
