Oh yes I have had that joy before, 5min to get the old one out and new one in with the puller you have pictured and then 1.5h fiddling with the spring clips with everything covered in grease trying to get the rubber to stay in place only for it to split 6 months later!

Here's a trick to make this job easier, use masking tape to hold the boot in place when fitting the retainer spring. Once retainer clip in place remove masking tape + buy boots from Polyboot.com and/or Gwyn Lewis, he sells the excellent Polyboot.com boots as kits for Land Rovers

Applies a violent shock against the taper, and because it is applied on the side of the arm, the shock is assymetric, first one side then the other if you turn the arm while you are doing it.

And saves money on pullers, and you don't have a tool lying around for ten years until you need to do the job again. I always lose stuff like that before I use it again.

Snap @KISSMYAURA , did the same on the Ninety + the steering and track rods. As kits they're superbly thought through and one comes away thinking the install's just done 'right...'

Penny washers? Nah. Marine grade engineering A4-80 high tensile fasteners all round, Yep I buy them in bulk for any car project and use where needed/best suited.

I used 316 for all fastenings on my build, its the molyb that makes all the difference! I also use ceramic antifret paste, on some bolts.
Most people use copperslip but its abrasive and a when dry actually attracts moisture, and does not really have a usefull application on a car since 1975 as brake shim anti squeels even then it was pants.

100% this. There's nothing worse than whizzing up a 19mm stainless nut, the nut over heating and galling up. They're a nightmare to remove. I've done this twice where rushing. The first it was out with the angle grinder. The second there was no room for the grinder so is was out with the old school junior hacksaw - I went through four brand new blades and the use of nut splitter removing one A4-80 19mm nut !
