| Help re front anti roll bar nuts |
|
I have just had a go at inserting the rubber shims behind the anti roll bar clamps on the front.
But couldn't get to the top nut on the N/S, I think I can only loosen it with a cranked 18mm ring spanner, that I don't have.
I didn't want to lever the roll bar / bracket too much with only the bottom nut off, in case something bent.
What has anyone else done when fitting this mod? The bushes don't look badly worn anyway for now.

A cranked 18mm ratchet spanner should do it.

Get a big lever in and lever the ARB out enough to insert the spacer. You wont damage anything. Worst case scenario is you will have to lever the ARB backwards again to give you enough threads on the subframe stud to get the nut back on. A 3rd hand may be helpful here if you have levered it too much  My D3 Build Thread

Support the front diff & then unbolt & displace the side support casting - simples!

I have just fitted the front anti roll bar rubber shims. I have now got a decent cranked 18mm spanner and it was so much easier.
That little 10mm bolt that holds the diesel heater in place is a bit of a Bu99er to get into but I have managed.
My next job is front and rear pads. Can anyone tell me do you have to buy the front and rear wear sensor wiring kit when you do the pads. I want to fit genuine Landrover so who knows where I can get the best price on these bits?
I will also need a couple of fitting kits for the pads.

I did as 10forcash suggests, you can angle the mount out of the way to get better access, otherwise most socket and ratchet combinations won't get on the nut properly to give it the full beans.
As for the diesel radiator Its easy to remove if you take the transmission undersheild off.

If you buy the front and rear pads as genuine LR from nick at yeovil LR, then you will have all the bits you need except for the sensors. But if your careful and the sensors are not worn yet, then you don't need new ones. Bodsys Brake Bible

Just for everyones info the pads now only come with bolts, the metal clips are now seperate part numbers.
Sensors can be pulled out and refitted, dont loose the clip on the end of the sensor though.
