Ah, I don't have the heavy duty splitter. Could not get one in time, only home a few days then away on hols and need to fit in its MOT before I go. Might be a struggle then. SDV8

maybe I can after looking at your pics. I did see that one but don't think it would fit. Right one below? Seems like it

ordered. thanks for your help. much appreciated SDV8

@evotime:

Yes, that’s exactly the same one I have!

It will fit, no worries! “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” -where’s the fun in that?

Ok all 4 front arms replaced. Easy enough. Thud has gone as well. Tie rod bushed were pretty knackered. Been in there a long time I would say.

I bought 3 tools to get the ball joints out as a bit of an experiment as I always use a hammer and never had any issues.

I tried all 3 tools and ended up using the hammer. 3 smacks each and out they came.

Tongs did nothing

Tool in pic would not go wide enough

Heavy duty tool in post above required the wee splash guard removed but the 2 tiny bolt refused to move. Not a big job to get them out but was running out of time so took the hammer out. Job done in 2 mins.
