Well I've done the guide for the front, its in pdf, i tried to upload it here, but its over 9mb :shocked: i now know why, i never compressed the pictures first :idea:

So Im not sure where to put it so you can take a look and see if its ok,

Any ideas?

Help :tonofbricks:

I will try get the guide for the back done soon.

Cheers

Upload it to something like Mediafire here: http://www.mediafire.com/

Then post the download link and I'll take a look then see if I can shrink it down so we can put it on the forum.
open the pics in paint
press Ctrl and W to get them to resize

put in the % you want to resise them to, normally 50% is fine for both the vertial/horizintal

save them

they then go from 3 or 4 mb each (like my camera does) to between 1-200kb each

you just have to do them all one by one

then load them up to photobucket and job jobbed :)
Thanks for your replies, i did manage to compress it to about 600k but its still to big to upload here,

I followed your suggestion and uploaded it to midifire, lowering guide pdf

see what you think, don't hold back on any criticism, i can handle it :}
Why PDF? Why not write it up on the wiki? Then it's in a standard location and easily searchable.

Good point, but i did try doing a wiki, and failed, although i can pick things up easy, i just ran out of steam, after finishing my guide which i did in word, i had a numb brain,

I first wanted others opinions on it, as i am useless at reading and writing and grammar, so have to rely on others, and spell checkers, for help, when i tried to upload it here, the forum does not except file type .docx, so i converted it to pdf, but will do a wiki, soon, i hope.

sorry for long reply but you did ask :)
Is there a reason why people remove the hub and strut as one piece? :s

Seems alot of effort... Never done a Mondeo befor but it looks all the same as all the fiestas I have done, I neve once removed the hub, insted I remove the strut from the hub....

looking back at some of my pictures, i did in fact do one side like that, well it looks i did :) it was all due to avoiding damage to the hydro bush, they do recommend dropping the subframe to do this job, but still we all do it different,

looks a nice clean car you have there, what model is it?
lol its not my car, just some pics from ukfn (ukfiestanetwork)
its a mk6 ST, i used to have one, p/x'd it for the mondeo :D
i had a mk5 fiesta befor that and the front suspension was the same, :)
At last Maddy! Worth the wait...thanks.

Although the hub doesn't need to be removed for taking out the suspension I think its horses for courses and I think a lot depends if you have the strength and scaffold pole to remove the hub nut.

Again another job that the subframe needs dropping!

Well done mate.
