thats me done top and bottom balljoint's what a pain in the arse that was,now for the fuel pump,happy day's.
While we are on the subject of balljoints... I just did a check round mine and the rubber around the lower balljoint (os) has split and is coming away. Does this mean I need new balljoints (now or are they on the way out) or is there some vibration/steering slack or other dramatic sign that they need replacing that I have yet to experience?

One other question... If I bite the bullet and decide to do these myself, RAVE recommends a special tool which I obviously won't go for but will an old fashioned ball joint extractor, the sort with a V at one end and a flat for a hammer at the other, do the job?
This old chestnut again!
Fair point I s'pose. But if I use an old chestnut that'd probably work then?
Would seem so. Buying a ball joint remover from Halfrauds for £10.00 then expecting it to do the job of a £900.00 special tool is a little bit fanciful to say the least.![]()

Unless you have access to tool steel, hefty bolts, toolroom machinery etc. whilst the gaffers not looking or he's a drinking buddy !!! Those were the days.
