Build 49. Front End Torque up

Whilst I'm waiting for parts for the rear, I decided I would go ahead and officially torque up the front of the car. Now that all the weight is pretty much in the front of the car, I decided that I would raise each wheel to its "rest" height using the trusty motorbike jack. I basically raised this until the point at which the actual chassis would also start to lift (as mine is cable tied to the axle stands, this was obvious as it would start to try and lift this up as well!)

You will need to remove the front ARB bar brackets to allow access to the front upper wishbone. Access was tight, but after carefully trying all the different combinations of socket extensions and sizes, I found one setup for each bolt that I needed to torque.

As usual, each was then marked as fully torqued, and then once I was happy with both sides, I re attached the front ARB brackets and then torqued these as well.
