I am picking up some new Shocks and Strut tops tomorrow (already have the springs here).
I would like to get them in and setup before Sundays C4C. I have a Wheel alignment booked for Saturday arvo - so would like some help on Saturday morning (or Friday night) to get this done quickly.
I have spring compressors, ball joint seperator, and an air compressor with tools - so the job should be fairly easy going - but as i've never done it would prefer if one of you lovely brissy boys could help me out.
Booze can be supplied if required.

Once both of mine were out i did them both myself in about 20 mins or so for each of them (I Think)
Never touched a strut/shock/spring assembly b4 lol so it cant be to hard, Will need an extra set of hands though, makes it alot easier. I used a rattle gun on the spring compressors which u were probably gunna do anyway but if not do it, makes it alot quicker haha
Best of luck
EDIT: That was just replacing the springs and shocks, so not sure how much longer the strut tops will take.
no such thing as a stubborn bolt on a vl i don't think, they have all been pulled apart too many times, ill give u a hand if u want or bring it my shed watever
Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
I have a ball joint seperator.. looks like a 2 pronged fork thingy.
I also heard that you can take the lower control arm off instead of taking the ball joint off - is this easier?
If you got all the tools (which i'm sure you have) i'll bring it on down osk.
Got it booked in at 1pm for a wheel alignment. PM me your address and what time you want me to be there (i'm thinking 8 or 9am to make sure have enough time - gives us 3 - 4 hours in case of complications).
Let me know what booze you like and i'll bring it with me. (Can bring along say a 6pack of JimBeam and Cola?)
