 Re: Boge shocks i hate my fucking van. so far 2 bolts holding the n/s front bracket have sheared, which i'll have to somehow extract and replace, and the exhaust is completely in the way of getting the n/s rear bolt off, but is solid at the nearest joint, so ill probably have to take the whole bloody thing off to get to it.
GRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Boge shocks Drill them out, buy an M10 x 1.25 tap and a handful of M10 fine pitch set screws, maybe even some proper lock washers.  http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/M10-x-1-25-CA ... 460cd33a87http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/M10-x-20mm-Me ... 337fcab1dcken smyth602 wrote: i hate my fucking van. so far 2 bolts holding the n/s front bracket have sheared, which i'll have to somehow extract and replace, and the exhaust is completely in the way of getting the n/s rear bolt off, but is solid at the nearest joint, so ill probably have to take the whole bloody thing off to get to it.

Re: Boge shocks Fucking shitty, wanking, cunty, bollocking cock-face of a van...
Looks like at some point in the past, the bolts have been removed on that side, the holes re-tapped and larger bolts put in (cross-threaded of course) with thread-lock, and oh yeah, tack-welded on the back. No wonder i couldn't get the buggers out!
Managed to drill out 2 and replace them with nuts and bolts, but its a shitty bodge of a repair and I'm not happy with it in the slightest. Probably have to replace the arm to be honest, and I don't think acad ones are easy to come by?
At least the van can drive again, although its still the old shock on that side because I couldn't get the fucker off to save my life.
