⚠ Attention! The mistake was made in the video at 9:36 minutes. The tightening torque is 200 Nm, not 141 Nm. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

Brilliant video well presented, clear, well lit. All I need now is a hydraulic hoist and a comprehensive toolkit

[MegaMidds]

Conveniently they do the side without needing to remove wiper :)

I did this procedure today and if you have this skoda chances that bolts will be rusty are very high. get yourself good penetration fluid, spray all bolts couple of days prior to changing them. Also get yourself wire bush on drill or grinder and clean threads well, you will thank me later.

You don't need to do 1/2 of that, just lever the lower wishbone down, complete with hub carrier etc and you can get it out of the strut, just. (open the hub carrier up with a cold chisel using it as a wedge, far better than we see in the video. Push it slightly rearwards and you can drop the strut out forwards.

#54 and #55 should swap places in the CC, the brake line is fastened first.

LOL, I missed the upper fastener for the stabilizer bar link at first. Maybe you should have the promo for more videos not covering the important view of the actual video, or stop the video and do the promo, and then continue. Just a tip/friendly request.

Removing strut top #21 & H7. Refitting #22 & H6. Which is it please?

[bennylloyd-willner]

@5:36 Is it the spring compressor tool that also completely refurbishes the shock absorber assy automagically between takes? 😁😁

[welshfowler]

does it matter which way up/down for spring?

[RussianSpaceman]

Hi, is the spring compressor in video available for purchase? Is there a link please?

Video represents how to change spring in ideal world, unfortunately reality is different, shock absorber will not come out from the support block, you will need to hammer it hardly, so recommend to plan about 1-2 hours of joy for replacement of 1 spring. How ever video is helpful
