hi, is it possible to take the trailing arm off without removing the hydralic system.......by pulling the suspension link rod spring clip out and leaving suspention suspended in place
thanks

as long as you release the pressure in the leg the clip can be taken out and the rod it holds pushes back,it can also be removed but can be a bit of a pain to get the rubber boot back on. the caliper can just be unbolted from the arm and held up out the way somewhere, so you dont need to undo the brake pipe and bleed it out later. the ABS sensor if fitted, theres not much room to disconect the plug but it can be done, £60+ if you somehow manage to break it.
and the roll bar bolts were torx 55 on the last one i did, prop the arm up as far as it goes with a bit of wood or whatever so the bolts are pointing down instead of at an angle.
i think thats most of it...
