Rubber Cone Replacement..........HELP Needed !!

[Redned]

Need to replace the REAR rubber cones, How do I go about it,any help greatly appreciated ??

Put the car up on axle stands, take the wheels off, undo the top shock mount, pull the cones out. That's it in theory anyway

In a saloon the tank has to come out, so be sure it's nearly empty before you start.

Thanks Guy's, didn't think it was that simple, so no special tools required ?

Just spanners and time.

If you are replacing the cones you might consider doing the knuckle joints as well.

Be warned though the cones can be fairly hard to remove from the trumpets, oxidization between the alloy and the steel insert in the cone can make it a bitch of a job to separate.

Be sure to apply plenty of copper grease between those two parts to avoid future hassle.

New cones will result in high suspension to start with but this will settle over a bit of time.
