I'll you what it is....  I don't post and I am a lurker (heck I don't even have an omega any more) but I have been here since the very start and these past few days have been the very best on this forum in a long time!!!!

I know some people have complained that it will put the newbies off etc. however I think the opposite - it shows that this is a place that is light hearted, people come together for a laugh and don't get too hung up.  The threads of old - the names of which I won't mention did nothing but divide and did more damage that a few post count culling's ever could..

Carry on regardless and I hope you get all your post counts back soon.

I shall now go back to lurking...

Cheers
Chris

Tube is integral with the shock.  Might be worth taking the weight of the lower arm on a trolley jack as well to make it easier to pry the shock out...

Thanks again. looks as though I wasnt being brave enough I will have another bash at it.

There is a bolt and tube type arrangement where the lower part of the shock has a tube that fits into a recess on the lower arm.  Once the bolt is removed use of a large screwdriver, prybar or carefull tap with a hammer should drop it free.  No need to remove the top mounting.

Clean the tube up with a wire brush and a thin wipe of grease before refitting...

Thanks for that, so is the tube seperate to the hub or is it intergral,  I did have a leaver at it, but I couldnt really see anything moving - I might not have been heavy handed enough!!!!!

Thanks again

Omega General Help / Rear Springs - X reg 2.5

Hi all,
        Long time viewer first time poster as they say!!!.  I need to change both my rear coil springs on my Omega and I have looked at the maintenice guide that was written by Marks_DTM however its seems the fixings for the lower shock are different to whats on mine.  After removing the lower bolt, in therory it should just pop off - however on mine it seems as though there is a mounting tube that goes through the bottom mount and there isnt enough give in the shock to remove it.  What am I missing do I need to undo the top mount as well?

Thanks
Chris
