Instructions for Dismantling the Rear Axle

Model: Ford Ka MK 1 - Years 1996-2008
Part: Anti-roll bar

Lift the vehicle on suitable car stands, and position a jack to support the rear axle; disconnect the hubs and rear suspensions, and finally unscrew the fixing bolts of the axle to the vehicle chassis to remove it. At the location of the recently removed bolts, there are bushes with a rubber core (silent blocks) that tend to deteriorate (especially if driving on snowy roads treated with salt), making the rear suspensions very noisy and compromising road holding: replacement bushes can also be purchased in the aftermarket.

This will allow you to locate the pipe through which the brake fluid flows: by inserting the other end of the pipe into a container, you can press the clutch pedal to expel all the fluid until it fills the container.
