you need to undo your castor rods from both ends, undo the anti-roll bar mounts and all the linkages and it should come out.

 

also only undo the outer nut on the caster rod that way you wont have to do another wheel alignment when it comes back together.

thanks for the help ended up getting it and puttin it back together but i'm blind as for not seeing that my actual chassi is bent :abuse: now i need to some how get it straightened.... it's the front left hand side and has gone in about err 60 mm towards the cabin and about 50mm out to the left hand side, doesn't look too good, anyone ever done any repairs like this before i was thinkin of a panel beaters but they charge out the ass for little to no work so i don't think i could afford to get it done.

 

any help would be appreciated.

my dad helped me fix some damage like that a while back but you would be horrified if you knew how he fixed it; let just say it involved a bobcat and some chain.
