Mark, do use a correct BJ splitter tool, the wish bone can fracture around the casting if you shock it, they are not expensive to purchase (I'll get pic for you) from memory 20-30 quid, some where like Machinemart... http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/...

Tips... read your service manual (!) I also copper-grease the threads and stud part.

Mine fell apart and i used molly slip I have the splitter tool if you want to borrow it

Undo the lower nut so its just past the end of the threds, place a socket on the nut (I used a deep reach inpact) use a trolly jack and lift on the socket till its taking the weight of the spring not the car, then with a copper hide thumper give the side of the ball joint a cloute this worked for me

Yeah, I've seen that the angle means you need to hit from towards the front of the car, looks like its locked in good and proper though. I'm not in any rush and will try Neils way carefully when I next have time - I'm sure on reflection I've seen my dad do something similar.

If you are stuck I will pop over
