Many thanks for all your replies guys

I got it separated using a bottle jack under swan? and nearly jacking front of the motor off the floor holding a block of steel behind swan and hitting front it popped off with one bang:amen:

Took another hour to get the upper cup out [I'm learning] then about the same to get new upper cup back in

Had about three attempts to fit lower cup, spring, rubber 'O' ring, plate and circlip as it kept pinging out skies went black and it started hailing so chucked everything in the garage and will try again tomorrow

On the workshop manual exploded image it shows No.4 a retainer that goes on top beneath rubber boot, that didn't come with the kit, any idea's

Jack it up! Then you will need a drop arm ball joint removal tool. DLS do them. Search on eBay.
