The rears are really killing me. I can't get the drivers side airspring out of the top mount.. it just doesn't want to give.. I'll have to get the roto zip and try to cut the top mount from the bottom. Of course the cotter pin holding it in snapped. More to follow.

not that I like conversions, but I am willing to help those in need.

I use an 18" 3/8 extension, set it sqare against the bit sticking through the frame and whack it with a wooden mallet (the 18'' bar keeps the hammer away from the bodywork..) that should jar it lose, then you can bend the remaining part of the R clip out of the way to pull it down.

Make sure she's on sturdy stands or it may drop on your arm/head as vengance for the castration...

I hope you are happy converting your rover to coils. I don't know if you get a computer override system with your strutmaster setup. you can get one at http://www.roverparts.com/Parts/SD8007.cfm the override will eliminate any annoying EAS fault messages associated with the coil springs.

you only need 2 bits of wire to do the same thing, don't spend on that computer.

Yes, I have the instructions to disable the EAS Fault.. It consists of removing the EAS harness plug from under the drivers seat, Cutting than grounding a particular wire, then cutting and temporarily grounding one wire while turning the car to accessory. Then taping it up.

It turns the EAS into manual mode. Unless there is a better way? I'm all ears.

dont' cut wires, just put a jumper from pin 1-25 and 7-18, just leave them both in
