where to start

got home early from work to get started on changing the track rod ends and bottom ball joints on the mondeo, what could be simpler though i

how wrong i was

it seems that in order to get the wishbone out you must drop the subframe, and this means realignement of the whole lot

bollocks
you can't get the bolt out form the back because it's only got an inch worth of space before it hits the chassis leg

i didn't twig this until about 2 hours in when no amount of twisting and turning of the arm would do the trick

so it's now 5.30 and i'm pissed off but the bolt is out, as is the wishbone, now all i've got to do is ge the rivets out, a simpel matter of grinfing them out

again, how wrong could i be, 20 minutes later they still aint coming off and i'm seriously thinking of just getting new arms becase it seems that i might have fucked the rear bush

so it's hanging there in the middle of the garden until i decide if i can be bothered ot fix it or not

if i do decide to sort it, how do i realign the subframe? the bolts haven't come out yet, they've just been loosened a little
