Finally got around to changing the driver side steel hydrolastic pipe in the missus clubman, yuck yuck yuck what a horrible job

Apart from having to drop both subframes i also had to

Drain & remove both fuel tanks
Disconnect rear hydro springs
Remove exhaust
Loosen off handbrake cables
unbolt the remote
disconnet front shocks
Remove the battery
remove the slave cylinder
disconnect both pipe to the master cylinders
loosen off steering rack

Then i had trouble realigning the front subframe.

It was horrible i hated every minute of it, but my new aluminium trolley jack worked a treat.

All up about 3 and a bit hours to do the whole lot. Did it while the motor racing was on channel 10 on sunday. Still have to give the brakes one more bleed
