Hi all - greetings from UK, recently joined and a novice mechanic on partially restored 1969 MGB Roafster.
I am trying to replace rear lever arm shock absorber and had to remove both shock, link arm & link plate (as existing shock absorber arm had come off splines).
I have eventually managed to get old shock arm off link (top end of link arm) - but I am having real difficulty removing the bolt on the link plate connecting to bottom of link arm (ball joint). I cannot get nut off as just spins along with inside of ball joint - please can anyone assist/any tips?
Thanks
David
