Spent the day doing 1 side of the front suspension. Took 4 hours getting this bad boy out .....

Your a brave man, hats off to you.

I'd couldnt face a second go at it like you  THIS WRECKAGE

The next time round they need done they are generally easier. I tend to hammer the ball joints and they'll likely need done within a few year so won't have seized in place as much as the 8 yrs of the existing ones. That and a liberal amount of copper grease was used. V8 or else ...

Well done that man for persisting and not throwing in the towel and replacing the whole arm....which would have been easier  There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

I replaced both the arms too. That ball joint pictured sits pressed into the hub carrier. That would be too much hassle. 😀 V8 or else ...

Next one will be easier, done both mine now, you know where to hit it second time around.
Its a lot easier with the disc removed for anyone who wants to have a go.
Well done.

Good point, forgot that it's was on that way round, it's a while since mine were swapped on the old car.  There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜
