Some idiot has clamped my car. My space, I own it blah blah - the moan goes on...

Anyways, I was wondering if anyone has some good pictures of the suspension arm / wishbone assembly.......

let the tyres down, then try to remove the clamp

Different type of clamp mate, unfortunately.... it's a chain jobby which has been thread around the wishbone. Got a feeling that it may just be one bolt but i need to see a pic so I know what I'm doing.... I wish it WAS that simple!!

invest in a large set of bolt cutters. i did and i've never looked back!

Hit the local industrial rental place, get a big old stillsaw or grinder, and return the clamp to it's owner, in 20 pieces.

Criminal damage !!! Not my cuppa tea... was hoping to find some pictures of the assembly - tried the search facility to no avail... Anyone any ideas?

there are some on here if you have a look inthe sticky section . as far as i know as long as you can get it off ans give it back undamaged then nothing further will be done in law.....though the might try and return and reclamp.

i would imagine you need to have the wheel off to ge the wish bone or the axel stub'hub assmebly off .

100% right or if you break the pad lock off and return the clamp & buy a new lock and provide clamp owner with the keys nothing can be done

Mate, if you could would be fantastic. I've given them til wednesday to sort themselves out (in the meantime, i've wedged my motor between two others to stop the [email protected] towing her away or adding another clamp).

It seems to be one horizontal bolt which doubles as a hinge i think... that making any sense to you?
