well it's out!

a 15mm long reach socket is just the right O/D to go in through the top and push the top socket out. a couple of long extension bars and a big lump hammer did the rest. I supported the drop arm with a bottle jack underneath whilst ammerin like fook.

buggered the socket and one of the extension bars though.

drop arm ball joint all finished.
hardest bit was getting the new rubber gaitor to fit properly. eventually worked out that turning it inside out before sliding it on works best.

just nsf shock and brake flexi and the little patch on the outrigger to go. that'll have to wait till tomorra - gotta get me chores done now, then ave me tea, shave & shower in time to join Buster and Oddie at the pub.
