Mot fail

Good evening one and all,

Well she failed her mot today , brake pipe (no big problem)

But both upper and lower steering knuckle ball joints n/s/f, now I don't have a ball joint splitter / installer tool and was looking for some advice from anyone who has done the job, on what tool to buy and so on. I have done a google search and had mixed results, I ha ve always found people here to be very helpful

It's a D2 td5

Hi i just done both on my d1 for its mot didnt need a tool/splitter just undo nut and tap on side with hammer shocks them off 1 was a bit more stubborn but just put nut on loose and hit that up as it all gets replaced, hope this helps.

You could use 2 hammers and hit both sides of the part that the threaded part of the ball joint fits through (at the same time) - as its a tapered joint
