Awkward droplink.

Replaced the n/s/f droplink this morning. I've done a number of these over the years so the one on the Z wasn't too bad in comparison. The lower nut came off easily as it was counterheld with a 19mm spanner, the upper one however was stubborn. The ring around it started to spin when you went to undo the nut, the usual allen or torx fitting on the end of the thread wasn't there. No matter how much clamping I got on it with various sizes of molegrips, the shaft would just spin independently of that locking ring around it. I ended up using a grinder to cut through it. If I have to do one again I won't be using molegrips:p.

 

Next job, rear pads, then a front bumper repair & respray along with the wings & roof.
