Swan neck spanner for the rear wishbone nuts that are hidden away. Works a treat, can't remember if it's 16mm or 17mm tho. Or, open spanner on the angle and hope

SO, does that mean that the bolt in the rear sub frame isn't supposed to turn? Is the bolt supposed to go through arm/bush and bolt straight in the the car? Any idea's as to what I should do next?

Unfortunately there is no subsitute for having the correct tools. I consider buying tools an investment. If you buy decent ones, they will last longer than you!

You will rarely get away with a basic toolkit on this car, unless you want to pay someone to do the work.

Glad to hear you have it sorted though, its easy with the right spanners...

Cheers,

Steve.

Always buy a set, pay 2x as much for 5/6 spanners
