Thought the pitman puller would work for me, so its really the wrong time to find out my hammers are too wimpy. It was going so well as I'd got all the nuts undone ok.

To be easier on you and your tools you will need this sort of tool for a less painful extraction and also you will need a BFH or a big hammer.

the way I do mine is to slide a big bar in on the side pick up on something and get someone to stand on the bar that is
sticking out put the nut on 3/4 turns so when she does go it's not going to drop right out and give it a good hit with a good sized hammer pressure and shock hit it has got no mother or father to whurry about she will go looks like you have put a good amount of lube on. I always use diesel when I have a tight one seems to soak right in new vehicle purchase

Alternatively if you cant get the tool in, undo the bolt holding the arm to the subframe and let the arm dangle.
Using a large at least 2lb hammer, hit it on the casting between the thread and rubber boot hard. It’ll drop out after few good whacks. You can also screw the nut back on a couple of turns so if you miss it doesn’t damage the threads, but if your changing it anyway???

Cheers guys,
Oggy I don't have a big bar to give that a go, so just awaiting Amazon to deliver my BFH and whack seven bells out of it; ike diesel daves suggestion.

morning chrali i think that might be best the splitter will do the job I would still give that casting a good whack before putting in the splitter. and make sure you put some copper slip on new joint easier next time round new vehicle purchase

Cheers for your help guys, but sorry to say the splitter didn't seem wide enough to do the job Seeing as SWMBO had some hospital appointments over the next few days I had to just connect everything up and I'll get the garage to do it before the MOT this week (least I won't get stung on parts).
Yes the pitman puller was on upside down, as I couldn't see how well it could fit on the right way up. Encourage alternative fuels, use all the petrol!
