Got my new Bilstein front shocks today. Boge struts.
Read in the archives and Waynes book. Supposedly when loosing the top nut (that was easy), pushing down the old insert into the fender well (also easy) - you then should be able to swing it out under the fender. No bloody way ! Need at least 10 -15 cm more.
Depending what way I turn the wheel, either the brake hose or the bar doing the steering (don know whats called in English) limit the "swing range".
What to do ?
I´m an academic, what the f&%# am I trying to achieve here ? Do I really have leave to my mechanic - would kill my vanity !!
Advice, please
