    Hi guys,

    I'm trying to dismantle the HICAS from the rear wheel hubs but can't get the bolt out. Do I have to hit is harder or am I missing something?

    Thanks.

    I suggest you take some pics of what you're doing, so u can be advised that ur trying to undo the correct parts.

    But yeah, i did that job a few weeks back, and mine was on tight. I had to WD40 it, and get onto it with some large adjustable spanners, pushed all the way on so that you get 4 faces connected

    Loosen the lock nut under the rubber boot near the HICAS cylinder. Put vice grips on the inner tie rods (there is a flat piece) and twist them out of the rear suspension lower links. Take the assembly out as one piece. (Hicas power cylinder and both inner tie rods.)
