Front lower is a pig. You will need to get it as high as you can and get the biggest breaker bar on the bolts as you can get in. Then lever yourself against something while pushing like mad with your feet..!

Or you could get a mate to put it on a ramp and get it off in seconds...

You don't need to do your tracking again as it is just a case of removing the bolt for the wishbone and putting it back in ;)

cheers dude i never done it before so am new to it lolgoingto get a mate to pop it up on his ramps at work and then am going to air gun the hell out of it lol
 
what are the chances of these bolts are breaking??? if they do break i will need to get a new subframe correct?

took it to a garage and the boy said he didnt want to put mega pressure on it in case they broke

any ideas?
 
if they do break get a set of reverse tappers i think there called so you'll drill a hall smaller and then it the tapper threads in the other way and you can unscrew it that way
 
i heard that if you crash with a strut brae on it bends the chassis much more easily than without. is this true? also is there much benefit. my cupra is totay oem, but wondering how this would help...
 
well attempted it the day in work on my break with one of the mechanics and eh ...... bad news lol i think the captive nut has snapped snapped as the bolt loosens but dont come out i get it to go tight again but its f***ed lol

so any ideas folks?
 
ahh id say depending how far you can get the bolt out chop the head of the bolt off and remove all the wishbone if you can
 
will i need a new subframe tho???? as thats where the captive nut is

its a bloody pain as i really need my car lol
 
if you can get the wishbone off i think you should be able to maybe tap the subframe so the bolt will hold in

im sure someone will correct me

but as iv never taken my ibiza apart yet im struggling a little sorry
