Lowering

[Cyrix]

Is there such thing as a guide to lowering a MK5 on here? I dare say i culd figure it out but i dont want to get halfway through and find i need a special tool. I Have the spring compressors. How do i go about doing it.

 

Any helps apreciated.

best getting a haynes manual but seeing as im bored ill do a quick runthrough based on a mk6 (should be similar)

 

take off wheel and undo the hub bolt that holds the shock on and try to open out the hub a fraction, makes it easier to get the shock out

undo the 2 nuts holding the brake hose to the strut

now take the shocker out the hub, usually by means of hammering the hub down off the shock then remove the 3 bolts inside the engine bay that hold the shock in
