you have to drill out the pressed studs to do it.

I did them on my dads freeby last week but it wasn't much more expensive to get the whole wishbone and ball joint as one unit - it was about £50-60 I think and made like better as to drill them out you would likely need to remove the wishbone anyway.

In the past on VWs I have drilled them out but the landrover press studs seem unnecessarily strong!

If you have a eurocarparts in your area they do them.

good luck
 
Hi and thanks very much for your adult replie,will drill them out on the weekend mucho appriciated.

Regards martin.:welcome2:
