StuDaBear Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 has the anti roll bar been right off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Bearded Minky Hill Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 If it has it sounds like you may have put it back on upside down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshlad Posted May 26, 2015 Author Share Posted May 26, 2015 its had mounts off to put new rubbers on and then off at the mounts to take engine box/out so its not that..... it looks as if the gearbox need to go to the left a bit more so theres more clearance but i cant see how i can get it move without unbolting everything, and obv i shouldnt have to do that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RScab Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Tony release the front mounts Fit the arms then jack up the center of the ARB and fit the front mounts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshlad Posted May 27, 2015 Author Share Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) tried that, and unbolting gearbox cradle , the hub just needs to go inwards e few mill and then it will pop in as its supposed to also tried loosening front gear box cradle bolts, and prying gearbox at same time, run out of options at moment Edited May 27, 2015 by welshlad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
