Don't fit moog!! Don't fit anything other than lembforder or febi in my opinion. Even delphi and trw are second best. Sorry..

I don't think Mark meant you but the garage that's been working on it. You've got it right about the laptop,70% is diagnosis,old school spannering is becoming a thing of the past.

Easy job.
I'd throw the new joints in the freezer for a few hrs beforehand just to make it a tad easier to press in.

With a bench grinder, just soften the leading edge on the ball joint casing. It reduces any ill alignment.

I found this on EBay could you confirm if this is correct tool for ball joint removal? 115263963337

That looks like it will do the job, make sure you lubricate the threaded part of the tool as Mark said.My kit advised using CV joint grease,the really black ****ty stuff.

Axle grease we called it down pit. Used to water proof me boots with it. Bugger to get of your skin thoughThat looks like it will do the job, make sure you lubricate the threaded part of the tool as Mark said.My kit advised using CV joint grease,the really black ****ty stuff.
