Got a set of Tein HE's to fit on my 33 but have no mechanical/ technical knowledge. Could some on point me in the direction of an idiots guide to fitting them please. And before people start saying pay someone else to do them, I'd rather save money and learn how to do them myself. Thanks in advance.
piss easy tbf front: open bonnet, 3 bolts on top remove front wheels, 1 bolt holding the shock there rear: (not sure where they are on a 2dr, in the boot, or under the speaker thing behind rear seats.) 2 bolts on top 1 under the car might need to fiddle your way around/through the rear stock arms, but shouldnt bu much of a problem, make sure your car is as high off the ground as you can get it
dude its very easy ... Rear has 3 bolts holding the shock on .. to get to the top mounts on the rear you need to take parcel self off which you might be able to do with back seats in but its a 2 min job to undo the seats two nuts hold the bottom bench in, then two hold the back in, once undone slide the back of seat up towards the roof, then unclip parcel shelf and you should see the top mounts ( cant get to them from the boot ) loosen them ( 12 or 13mm iirc ) can take nut all the way off if you want but it will make the rear wheels drop more when jacking up jack car up single nut at the bottom of the shock ( 17mm iirc , if not then 19mm ) undo nut take off the nuts at the top of the shock ( if they not off already ) side shock off the dowel thingy its on simples reverse process to put on but i would copper grease where the bottom of the shock slides on front are the same except you need to take the brake line off which ( iirc ) just get a screw driver and side the " n " shaped clip off and twist slightly and the line with go threw the open section tbh i can take all 4 corners off in about 30 mins without rushing at all and im african
Er, mines a 4 door for more whores! Does that change anything? Also do I need any specialist tools or will I get away with bog standard sockets and spanners? Cheers D and M gives me something to go on. Gonna give it a bash tomorrow. Being a spear chucker is no excuse Michael lol. Get yer ass round and help a poor spazzy English pikey out boooooy!
Na man standard shit is all You need altho that bottom nut can be a bitch sometimes and could do with a big bar. Tbh dude it's very self explanatory. It's either 2 or 3 nuts holding the top on or 1 or 2 nuts at the bottom. I u wanna come here Sunday to do it I'll be happy to help. Plus I have a fully stocked bar on the back of the house
I'll have a crack at it tomorrow, if I get stuck, I'll take you up on the offer. If I can put it back together lol
