Split Top Mounts, what do I need?

Post by andypriceuk »

Ok, I have 2 split top mounts on the front of my GPX,

I ordered a pair of TEIN top mounts from camskill, hope they will turn up tomorrow, just in time for christmas! lol.

When they come, what will I need other than normal tools?
Will I need spring compressors? or are the struts seperate and can i just drop them out of the way?

Also is there any manuals I can get (similar to haynes) to show this sort of thing.

Thanks Guys.

youll need spring compressors. Very dangerous to undo the top nut without them and youl never get it back together unless you have access to a set
