be careful with the bra mate take it off often if is touching the bare paint. Dry it often too as any grit and moisture will rub its way into the paint and ruin it
Finished my driveshaft finally and fitted my new lower ball joint. Managed to borrow a torque wrench that went up to 300nm so was able to torque it up properly to the right settings. Just got the other side to do now before Saturday.

Fitted a ITG Maxogen cone filter. Pretty happy on the first drive. Get plenty of whooshes, whistles and tweets from it even with a standard dump valve.

No I wasn't able to just had to keep chiseling away at the nut until it gave up.
Well, If it gave up, it's all good
It's a stupid idea really, most manufacturers just have a pinch bolt, it comes out fine till it hits the drive shaft, then when you 'break' the ball joint the nut just spins.
I've now decided to do away with the quick release on the turbo outlet pipe>pancake pipe hose, (due to several failed attempts to re-seal it) so i have ordered myself a joiner, for £4
