Rear upper wishbones

Looks like I need to replace my rear upper wishbones

I don't like the look of that upper/inner Bolt removal.

Are there any tips for removal?

Or better still a good indy in the EN9 area?

If you look for Bennington, Stevenage, which is nearer the A10 at Ware than Stevenage...
Try Bennington 4x4.
I've had both inlet manifolds done by them and can wholeheartedly recommend them as an indy.
Clive is the owner, and Dan is also a top man.

I'm sure if you search on here you'll find plenty of info..

but.. the wisest move is to cut out the bolt with a reciprocating saw or similar. and replace with new with plenty of copper grease..

Can get new wishbones and bolt kits from Advanced Factors (site sponsor) with a 5% off search for the code too, currently ADVLRF, but is soon to change..

For simplicity I would buy new wishbones with the bushes fitted..

Also bare in mind, you have to disconnect the brake pipe to replace the wishbone so will have to bleed the brakes afterwards..

Rear upper wishbones both done, along with new discs, Pads and the shoe's were failing so they have been replaced too.

Different car now, My bargain purchase has become the car I was hoping for.

Still some tinkering yet to be done but it's driving great now.
