Rear suspension MK1 2000 model
Discussion
Help needs guys. I have to replace the drive shaft gators so whilst I do that I was going to replace all bushes and shocks. Is there any specialist advice or tools in taking the rear wishbones and hubs off and also anything else I should replace whilst I have the back in pieces. I'm not looking at taking the body off at this point since I've never done that before.
Any help/advice greatly appreciated.

That's the hardest bit for sure. Fit new bolts as well and make sure you washer up correctly, if Powerflex bushes are being used make sure you penny washer the lower rear bushes at the back, or they will thrust out, may need to reduce the sleeve length as it is not designed to take a washer but does need one, IMHO.

thanks... :-) got one side out now the other to do. Stupidly forgot about the hub nut so going to have to try to get it off with the wheel in the air.....might try the handbrake and in gear idea.
Yes have a hydraulic lift so no worries about getting it high....think it will stay not the lift for quite some time... Already found some paint chips from where the bushes all go together...where can you buy the touch up paint or is that a new paint job on the pieces to make it perfect :-)
Aim is to finish with a car almost new to hold the high end values as this one only has 6700miles on it.
