Actually Jilles has a video on how he gets his suspension free

Cheers, yea if spent another 2hrs completely re building the rear end. It isn't the hinge pin but something just isn't where it needs to be. Both hinge pins are straight with no bends at all. The other area I thought it might be would be the sway bar mounts as well. I need to replace those as I just snapped one. Ive only run one pack through the car with no prangs at all. Doing my head in a bit but thanks for the advice again Craig!
