Got time for a little update.
I was having problems with the passenger side pinch bolt, well in the end I managed to remove the brake calliper (bolts solid again) and get the brake disc out of the way which enabled me to get a better swing with a bigger hammer and all came free in the end so onto the drivers side, pinch bolt came out easy but the ball joint would not come out of the bottom of the hub, the red mist came down I had had enough so grabbed the grinder and cut through the arm, the bolt holding the damper to the hub was well rounded so in no mood to mess about I just cut the hub off.







Engine bay now cleared and whilst the sub frame was out I replaced the steering rack. Waiting for parts now.
