I did my shocks today i had to heat the shit out of the bottom nuts thats how bad they were stuck on but i managed to do em in 2 and a half hours of struggling a big breaker will really be your best friend for this job! But remember things thatll probably get stuck etc
Easier if you start a couple of days ahead, wire brush n WD the bottom bolt 2 - 3 times, starting 3 days b4 you actually remove it. Helps greatly. Sometime the bolt seizes to the metal insert inside the rubber joint
@@autodocuk Still unable to find the exact tools used in the video because socket #18 and #DD6 cannot be found when searching. Managed to find a decent quality shock absorber socket toolkit elsewhere for £49.99 and does the job (and many others hopefully) perfectly. Your videos are great and really helpful though - many thanks!
Im not a qualified mechanic (im training) im just a normal guy with ratchet and spanners no power tools took me 2 and a half hours but i did havd seized up bolts

Waiting for the continuation of the videos Thanks for the Opel Corsa D 🚗

Its incredible how hard it is to find that DD6 shock absorber socket. Any help would be appreciated fellow viewers. Ty for the video, very helpful.
Thanks for your feedback! We are glad that you like our work.
Your not wrong. Autodoc should definitely stock them
where you able to get any? if so from where? i’m struggling with the same problem
At 3:30 you mention Drive socket #18 and Shock absorber socket #DD6 - are these available to buy on your website?

Please, please get rid of that annoying tacky music. It cheapens an otherwise good video. 😢
How long does it takes to change it in a service? (both rear)
We do not have such information, we recommend that you consult your mechanic.

Could ya get away with not removing all the plastic wheel arch like just undoing the plastic near the shock bend it

Good 👍👍👍
that ratchet noise is shocking
All that would take me about 4 hours.
Are you a mechanic?
