Re: Re: Replacement of rear silent blocks

I have now removed both suspension arms and would agree the clamp is a necessity.
I had previously thought this would be the case so I had made the clamp before I started. I used two pieces of 20mm thick flat plate and drilled and threaded the clamping bolts. Using these bolts I sandwiched a 4mm thick plate between the plates and had a local company drill a 26mm hole as per the drawing MR 1578 detailed in the Citroen Repair Manual. See the picture attached.
On removal of the silent blocks it was pretty obvious they had seen better days as they came off in three parts!
