Replacing Rear Endlinks

Started to replace the endlinks on y CM and the set up is different on the CM than the R56. Has anyone been able to access the bolt in the trailing arm without taking the rotor off?

Figured it out. You have to take the caliper off and loosen the bolt for the rotor and move the rotor slightly. This gives you the clearance. The other issue is the new endless is look too long at their shortest.

Been a while since I swapped these out on my R53. These are adjustable to get rid of preload on the sway bars.
