At 5:18 is that some special socket needed or is it anything that can make the clamp loosen up?

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for your comment.
In this video, the mechanic loosens the clamp with the head.

Is there a name for the type of socket used at 1:00 where it has a sort of collar so you can turn it with a spanner/wrench? All the sockets I can find online are just round on that part, not hex shaped. Thanks.

You can have a look at the set and purchase it at the link here: www.autodoc.co.uk/yato/13639595?RUclips&

[@stephenbranley91]

Ok, I'm almost done with changing mine, i just can't get the lower suspension arm bolts, the three bolts, back in place. Is there a knack to it? Is it easier if both sides are jacked up because something is under tension there? Just can't get the bolts back through the holes and the nuts back on them.

[@autodocuk]

It is recommended to do this work on a lift; you need to lift the lever from below and guide the entire upper suspension unit. In order to align and insert the lower ball joint bolts, you may need the help of another person.

[@ravenlymik340]

It’s diicult to see which side is up on the spring, i miss that they didn’t show it

I think this is a good video, but there is one serious mistake in it at 11:39: Citroen Handbook says torque on the bolt connecting shock strut to steering knuckle is not 105Nm, but 56Nm. Bolt will break way before 105 Nm.
Also, at 13.34, they torque the wheel bolts to 145m, Citroen Handbook says 90Nm. Sure way to do damage...

[@autodocuk]

Yes, you are right, the correct moment at 11:39 minutes is 59 Nm and at 13.34 minutes 90 Nm, this will be useful for us. Thank you for letting us know.

Looks like you put the top mount the wrong way around.
