I had the same problem with mine when I went to do it. I bought the repair kit first. When I got stuck like yerself I ended up using a 10 ton puller to yank the drop arm off and changed the whole thing. It still needed a large 'persuasion tool' to shock it off under load.

ere buster i had egg-zackerly the same thing a coupla months ago, only way was to get the drop arm off - took it to a garage who had a 10 ton puller (coz it ate through my halfrauds one like it was cream cheese) and chap reckoned he was using most of the 10 tons to get it off (and bastid charged me 20 for the privelege) but it had to happen cos, like yours, the lip at the top which keeps the ball in the hole had pretty well worn flush with the edge of the hole it goes through! I used that LR4x4 site as guidance and came across the same problem - if it was only as worn as the one in the pictures it wouldn't fookin need changing so what's the bleedin point??!

I had to drive through the village i live in high 1st with a piece of garden wire holding the drop arm ball onto the steering arm...twice (once it all did actually come off but no harm done, the feeling of helplessness driving a moving vehicle without any steering was a bit of a wake-up call as to why not to mess with the steering!!) - luckily there is a garage at the bottom of the road i live on, which is a coast down a road with no traffic on it, and it was really the only option! Dunno why it's such a bugger to get off...well actually i do, it's coz the splined shaft is tapered, but dunno why they taper it, you'd have thought that a locking nut would be enough - talk about overkill!
