Trouble Replacing A R32 Gts-t Hicas Arm

[Rolls]

My rear right HICAS arm ball joint is stuffed and has lots of play, I have bought a replacement and had a shot at replacing it tonight but got stuck.

Basically I jacked the vehicle up popped the boot off the ball joint and got the shifter on the flat sides of it. Took a bit of a wrench but it cracked and I sat there turning it for ages. It was tight so I assumed I was undoing it but after 10 minutes it didn't seem to have really moved. Am I doing it wrong or is the pressure of the wheel holding the rod in there and there a trick to getting it undone?

Cheers

This is what I considered but a friend of mine who had done it on a R33 said I should only need one shifter, unless of course R32s are substantially different.

I didn't take the boot off the other one though so I couldn't see if it was spinning, will check that first if no one else has any other tips by tomorrow.

Thanks.

No one else has removed their HICAS before? Could really do with some tips, don't feel like jacking it all up and f**king around to get no where again.

All good I got a mate to come around with his rattle gun and we figured it out.

Was correct assuming that you the rack is a solid bar that spins, so I have to use two shifters, one to lock the other side and undo it that way.

Car drives much better now without the rear end shaking, also means I should pass regency with no hassle.

Thanks for the comments anyway!
