Is there room for a ball joint extractor? I have one here you can borrow if so. Will take a pic in the morning for you.
I have a joint separator John thanks mate. I tried offering one up even though i knew it wouldn't fit in the vein belief majic might take over..No chance! there's only enough room to get a big flat blade in there an no room to lever. Richard (duffel coat) I seam to remember mentioned something about using a scissor jack and winding out the lower arm against I presume the driveshaft? Unfortunately I can't find mine.
