Evening, I've got one similar to this kit. I did mine with it.
Just take your time and have some penetration oil and heat to hand. Do both the upper and lower sets and do t adjust the little coller underneath the lower ball joints

Did you see how he gets the lower ball joint out by stretching the upper mount????

Yep atrocious mechanicing. There are people who follow that sort of crap and wonder why they cock things up. Happy amateurs break more vehicles than they mend for sure.
Don't the axles have a certain amount of ball joint changes before the eyelets are ruined?
3? Or so

Thanks guys I will give it a go, I have had a look at the videos and found one where he is welding a new ball joint in! I presume he had gone past the three changes or cleaned out the hole too much.
Looking at Rave and the collet for adjustment, how does that work when the top ball is fixed with no adjustment surely it will always pull up to the same place, or I am I just missing the point as usual?

You are missing the point the top ball joint is not fixed it can move in and out.
