xantia spheres removal

[bill hughes]

Once again many thanks for all your advice but I think my old spheres were put on by someone who didn't know that you only screw them up hand tight, but that was 73,000 miles ago long before I acquired the car. For the record, I hope I didn't sound sarcastic when observing that northern mike didn't have a xantia in his collection as it was not meant to be, and as he says, really good ones are hard to find, like women, anyway my new spheres have been fitted and I'm in love with it again, by the way I bought the spheres from Mister Auto on line, they are made by Lizarte in Spain and cost me 47 euros the pair

You've tried changing springs and dampers on a "normal" car on your driveway have you? Now *that's* hassle.

try the godawful Peugeot idea in the 206 of having the strut needing clamping a silly amount when the cars sat on the ground or the strut and hub are pressing against the balljoint and are impossible to remove easily.

did 3 on my own (2 snapped springs and a shocker replacement) on a drive and all 3 took hours just down to the jacking up down clamping the springs ETC.

even replacing the bearing in a Saxos strut took less time.

Berlingo is the same. A bit of a pig to do. There is a trick to it though. I can't recall what it was as DickieG was doing one of mine and the strut wouldn't come out. Then he did something and it came out easily. As it's 3 years ago I can't recall what it was now..
