take your time with it as the bolts can be a sod to get in square, if you cross thread them they will snap, so go gentle,

and make sure you have the entire front of the car in the air, if you have to jack it up,  one side won't do.

ok cheers.
i have got to be careful jacking it up as i have just put my side skirts on so i might see if my local garage might help.
do the bolts need a torque setting when tightening them up???
