Greetings fellow owners
I had the front arms changed by a local garage, but not being overly impressed I've decided to do the rear ones myself. I've bought both front and rear from Eurospares and am very pleased with their service. These are the pattern units at 395 GBP each. The garage said the front ones need reaming to fit, which cost me extra...
I've also bought some new boot covers for the rear uppers from Craig Waterman as the existing ones have crumbled to nothing, so am planning on doing those at the same time.
My problem is that I can't get the balljoints off. I invested in a ball joint kit for my air chisel as per Craig's video, but I've managed to get the LH bottom one out about 6mm but no further. I'm also having no luck with using the double nut method to remove the stud bolt. It simply doesn't budge.
I just wondered if anyone else had the same issue and how they solved it. I'll try using a heat gun tomorrow night and see if that helps.
I'll be grateful for any ideas.
Cheers
Graeme
