right ok, but the bearing is in that... the bearing wouldnt fit on top? what does the bearing look like as i dont have any bearing to go in that?didnt realise i needed one there lol?

just got the offset spanner, only 40 degree tilt but it just fits in... but dont have a spanner small enough to stop the piston from spinning! bloody arse!

so not sure how much thread will pop out yet until i get it tightened up!

and ill give that a go with the clingfilm ta cookie! but i have dust covers for the shaft anyway.

right emailed avo, they have told me i need to o/e bearing in there... theyve sent me a diagram and it seems as if the bearing i have goes into the top mount, not in the bit underneath, which is odd as it fits perfect!
