Hopefully that will be the leak sorted. I also had a leak in the cab from behind the dash. could only be the indicators so I had them off and cleaned up bits and bobs. Probably need new units, the old ones in there are a bit brittle etc.
Yeah that's also an option. Probably a better one. Do shocks need to be tightened up so they are tight against the bolt head and fixing point? Like clamped?
The metal bush (inside the rubber bush)has to be tight and does not like to be on a threaded bar...(too lose) So you may need a different shorter ht bolt...
Yeah I could also do this, maybe I will weld a little bar to it so that it will never get stuck again. Also so I can hold it in place. My fingers won't fit in the space.
Put your sausage fingers on a diet , you could weld a little bar exactly the way you used it to remove the old one, like you said all good
Welding the nut on the front won't work, the bolt is through the chassis to support the shock, if you do it differently the shock will break away
it did fix the leak believe it or not. So pleased. Was starting to think it was going to be a nightmare job.
If you could reach the back side of the bolt, you could drill a hole through and slide a small piece of bar into it to stop it spinning as opposed to welding.
