So 7.30am up and ready to change front wishbones - front wheel nuts done up absolutely solid.
Managed to get one moving bouncing up and down on a 2 ft pole, second one killed my trusty ratchet (Britool one).
So not happy I called the garage that did the last front end work for the MOT and after some grumbling on my part they have agreed to do the wishbones for £35.00 plus VAT (they're just charging me for one side).
Since as I write it's just started p**ing down this is starting to feel like a result...

If I was you, i'd stand there while they do them & when they're finished, YOU tighten the wheel nuts! ;D :y
