    Step 1: Undo nuts and remove link.

    Step 2: Fit new link and tighten nuts.

    This is one of those jobs that really is as simple as it looks! :biggrin:  

     

    I'd suggest plenty of penetrating fluid for a day or two before though and clean up with a wire brush.  Rusty threads will be your biggest issue.

    Drop links, anti roll bar links, stabiliser links.  There's a nut on top of the rear arm, the link itself is tiny.
