Well the bolts snapped. Amd wrecked my wing. Not too bad. All though Still waiting for a recovery. First ones that came were a bunch of numpties and gave up. Not expecting another one for another hour. Luckily it's only 5 mins from my house!! __________________ If Its not broken dont fix it, MAKE IT BETTER!!!!!!!!

Have all 4 bolts snapped __________________ ------------------------------ ------------------------------ __________________ It never got fast enough for me Hunter S Thompson R.I.P.

Or it is possible the bottom ball joint that would have been split to remove the hub has sheared __________________ ------------------------------ ------------------------------ __________________ Top Gear Transmissions Glasgow
