Title: GD front strut removal
Post by: Little Mick on November 15, 2016, 22:41:26

The heading says it all.
I can not find anywhere on the inter-web any pictures, guides or even a written guide on how to remove the strut tops in the front of the GD i30 that seem to be hidden under the plastic surrounding the wipers and the like.
Does anyone know of or have any hits and tips to be able to remove this piece to make the strut tops accessible?
Cheers.

Yeah you gotta remove wipers and plenum cover to access the top nuts.

Righto, sounds like a bit of fun then. Will have a closer inspection and if it can not be done with one arm it will become the mechanics issue, lol!
Cheers for the reply and the information cruiserfied.
