My wife's 53 plate CLK 200 failed its MOT a couple of weeks ago. I've ended up replacing all of the front control arms and ARB drop links - its not yet had a wheel alignment.
The car was originally booked into the garage for an MOT and wheel alignment. The garage also told me the right rear track arm is seized (A2033500353), so I bought a pair of them with the intent to replace them too.
My question is how can you get a tool to the head of the bolt? It is a triple square but there doesn't seem to be enough space to get a socket wrench on as the fuel tank is in the way. WIS just says to remove the ARB drop link and undo!
The other option is to break out the angle grinder but it feels a bit extreme without at least trying to undo the bolt.
Any advice welcome.
