Learn how to remove the front arm of an Opel Astra. Place the car on a column lift and loosen the wheel nuts with a telescopic spanner, then remove the wheel.

Use a socket to unscrew the lower fastening pin of the arm and the pin mounted under the wheel hub (as shown in the video). Remove the arm from the pin seats with the help of a crowbar.

Always compare the parts to be replaced with the new ones; if they are suitable, you can install them. Prepare for assembly.

Insert the arm into the two ends of the guides and begin tightening all the bolts. Test the correct installation of the part.
