Janneke fixing Verdina, the green S2 Fulvia coupé for the Dutch import test:
|
 Undoing the axle nut. She has just put aside the two meter extension piece. |
 Take the old rubber boot off, clean then new boot, new grease. |
 Put the drive shaft back on. |
 "Good tools is half the work" Janneke thinks as she tightens the axle nut to 30 kg/m |
 Lock the axle nut. |
 Wheel back on and the right hand side is done. |
 Shock absorber has to be loosened at one and to allow the upright to drop far enough to take the top bottom ball joint out. She already put a piece of wood between the spring and the subframe to keep the spring up. Used a bottle jack placed under the lower balljoint to do this. |
 Temperature is rising and after stripping a bit, she goes on to undo the bottom bolt of the left front shock absorber. |
 The left wheel back on and the left hand side is done too. |
 Let's not forget the side repeaters! |
