Decided to make my first video. Rear spring removal. I should have been making these all along when I took the entire car apart!
Enjoy

Robert,

The video looks good, and even though this has been said, what a clean machine your RR is.

Good video, cripes the car looks like its never used.
Do you use it in all weathers or is it a show car.

In the UK bleed screw dust caps are a must!

Patrick said "In the UK bleed screw dust caps are a must!"

True, and I use all stainless steel bleed screws. There are twelve, and mine have a sharpish lip which helps to secure the bleed pipe without using fancy (difficult) clamps. I've never found commercial bleed tubes which really work, especially in the inaccessible locations. (But someone will suggest one, you wait and see.)

Good observation on the caps. I have a dozen coming in. The car spent its years always garaged in Beverly Hills.
I like stainless and would like to swap them out.
Thanks for the advice.

I bought mine at a car event a few years ago, but they are available (I think) from Automec in UK (automec dot co dot uk)
