What a Nightmare.

[@TRHamza]

Small tasks always turn into a big one lol

[@biff128]

TR Hamza i JUST did this in my Mk5 GTI and ran into the same problems. BE CAREFUL WITH SUBFRAME BOLTS! Snapped 3 on those bushing brackets and had to replace the whole subframe. Also hit everything with penetrating oil an hour minimum before you hit a bolt or nut, it does wonders. Good luck!

[@biff128]

Also gloves and eye protection will make your life much better.

Hamza fair play for trying bro, I would recommend getting a technician to work with you on these little projects will help you about alot and make it more enjoyable for you. If you were in London I would volunteer 👍🏽

[@SavingSalvage]

I came to the comments hoping someone pointed this out 😂

[@shahidahmed7925]

You have to jack it up on the ball joint to put pressure on it so it doesn’t spin, this happens all the time just need to know a way around it. Hope this helps for future purposes.👍👍

[@TRHamza]

[@theenglishtrucker1849]

This is exactly why I cant work on my own cars. Its never simple, that causes something else to break, which doubles the cost when I have to pay someone to fix it. I love watching your vids as you dont seem to edit this kinda thing out. It add realism to it all. Glad you got some good help. If you ever need anyone to over tighten and then snap bolts, or break stupidly delicate plastic brackets......Im your guy! Haha. Keep the content coming mate. 👍 :

[@woody555kl]

Fixing cars is pretty simple tbh its just those that do it for a job have had much more practice and experienced all the problems many times over and has learned how to deal with them where as a diy mech snaps a bolt and then instantly shouts fuck throws a spanner/panics and gives up also a full time mechanic has every tool at his disposal including the holy grail that is ramps or a lift.

[@TRHamza]

Thank you mate, yeah I just like to keep everything how it actually was. I’m quite open about being a beginner, so it’s better if i show any problem areas on video. Easier to get advice 👍🏼

[@DanialA11]

Changing bushes ain't easy. You need a press to be honest and 2 post will help u massively along with one of them gearbox adjustable holder thing. Fastest way to remove old Bush will be some wdf onit and fire let it melt out Greece up new one and smash it in. No such thing as small jobs, if it's going nice and easy then expect something to fock up standard.

[@Riyazatron]

I remember doing my front disc and pads on my own and it was th first time I ever did it. Was all rusted around there. Managed to snap a bolt trying to undo it. What was supposed to be a few hours turned into a whole day. Had to move the car out the drive I was using with 1 bolt missing. Went the next morning to buy the bolt and swapped it over. but trust me I felt as low and frustrated as you looked in th video. Didn't let that get to me and now I keep going. Keep up the good work. I would replace all the bushing. I know it's difficult but try do it. It'll be worth it if you're keeping it long term. Imagine getting your own space and doing a full restore like restoreit lol

[@GIXXERUKX]

Older cars need plus gas or similar sprayed on all the bolts you want to remove, spray multiple times over a few days prior to the work 😎 Also if a bolt/nut goes tight then go back with it, it will clean the threads up Great vids 😎😎 I have a weekend car and my daily is a mk5 golf GTI

[@jordanhewlett8690]

[@jordanhewlett8690]

Paul Clarke is it not? Reckon it’ll feel a bit better after those modifications? I want that confidence to Chuck it into corners if I’m going to spend on one. My mate has an Clio 200 and it’s mental in the corners!

[@Schnitzer325ci]

Well done for trying. You need to get a bush extractor tool which costs roughly £40. You will need it or you will be frustrated and tired by the end of the day! Do one clip for the front control arms. Another for the rear and so on. Make it a DIY video, how to guide for that Golf. Do something nice as well like spray the control arms black to freshen up the car. You'll need more ramp time. Good luck! 👍🏾

[@marklawson4694]

When getting the old rubber bushes out, drill a hole through the rubber bush on the edge and go round the inside of it in a circle motion with the drill bit it works a treat :)

[@TheSootpig]

Just had my 1st MOT advisory for the PFF85 501 bushes. N/S has split after 3 months use, around 1000miles. Looks like Ill have to get the axle stands out again another great vid THANK YOU

[@aceczf6965]

Also install a powerflex or ecs dogbone mount, i will be doing this to my gti as soon as the weather lets me. Only heard good things about it

[@TRHamza]

Yeah will get a new dogbone mount on

[@Matt463634]

The rear eccentric bolts are usually seized to the bushes. Nightmare as to remove the arms you have to drop the rear subframe to get to them.

[@Zed_Zone]

Super vid...Informative, honest and a little scary with you trying to do it on ur own but well played and top guys coming over to help! Ramadan Mubarak to you and all the viewers!.

[@VeeDub2000]

Without even watching this video yet, you're gonna have SUCH a hard time taking out the old bushing and putting in the new ones. It takes FOREVER! Especially if you don't have access to a good press.

[@tractor453]

Been waiting for ages for this !!! Ko4 man 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@timstinson1]

Irwin Bolt extractors.. Best £20 you can spend (based on my own experience of changing the rear springs on my Golf! If you can, I find it’s best to pickup new bolts for whichever part you’re changing underneath.. at the weekends working on cars always best looking at it than for it! Enjoying the project!! Good luck!👍👍

[@scottbrooks3402]

Can always cut through the nut a part way and spilt it with a chisel. That way it saves the bolt and just a new nut needed. I'm sure they are regular high tensile bolts in them, probably grab some from screwfix etc if you get proper stuck

Those lower ball joints are always a problem 😂 I’m a mechanic at a vw/audi specialist and the studs almost always snap when undoing the three 16mm nuts

[@conorf8091]

[@borisbolshoi7317]

[@sheldonm3535]

The dog mount makes a big difference. I just hate how the car shakes in reverse tho. Mine are from black Forrest no issues with shaking or vibrating when ac is on or car in idle.

[@kylegreenley8950]

For doing the other anti lift bushing you should only have to loosen the bolts for the back portion of the control arm that you're replacing. Will make it easier to do you're and you won't have to mess around the ball joint on the other side which will probably have the same issue as the one in this video. Good luck and I enjoy your videos, have a mk5 myself that's done up a bit. Fun cars to drive and for me to work on as a former mechanic.

[@michaelbourne2546]

The biggest killer when removing those arms is if the bolts pick up the aluminium thread on the way out of the subframe, no amount of back and forth will help, you were lucky, hope the near side is as kind, and as said just undo the 18mm leave the 3 ball joint ones alone, if the 18 starts to hit the cv joint before it’s fully loose then slacken the hub bolt and push the cv joint out a little, this will give you clearance to undo the bolt before breaking the ball joint and having it all spin,

[@sirus748]

As mentioned lower ball joints bolts are always a mare to remove. However, i couldn't understand why the fella was using the Dremel from top? It would have been easier to get it off from the bottom Unless there was no gap between the nut and control arm?

A full day to drop one control arm lol I've done these myself they ain't that bad. If you have limited mechanical knowledge like yourself and your friends do some research before you attempt the job. The front Bush can be removed by drilling the rubber. Also come on split the ball joint would of saved all that hassle. And dont forget geometry after you've changed them.
