Hi
I was wondering whether anyone knows what order to replace this part ?
Im a bit of a novice at these things, but here goes.
It seems the middle part has to go on first and ive tried putting the ball
joint on second, but the opposite end doesnt line up enough to get the bolt
through.
Then i tried the opposite way and im having trouble getting the ball joint
back in .
Five hours later , im none the wiser,
This is on a granada scorpio btw.
Thanks if you can help.

Hiya John,

You need a long bar, the longer the easier (3 foot minimum really) and a big
mate to use it to lever the arm into place while you put the bolts in. Be
careful where you put the bar 'cos if it slips somebody might get hurt. Job
is best done on a two post ramp 'cos you get the best access.

hope this helps

Thanks for the advice mate.
Is this to manipulate the ball joint end , or the other end ?

John
