Hi all. Having had a poke and pull with a big bar ive found both top and bottom ball joints are worn and need replacing. Is there anyone near the Barnsley area that has ball joint removal tool that they could loan me or does anyone have any good suggestions on replacement without a proper tool. Thanks.

Can be done with a big g clamp type puller. That's what I use anyway. Done quite a lot.

One of the few jobs that I leave to the garage. It can be a proper pig if it doesn't go right.
