you have to completely remove pinch bolt or the ball joint will not split

Hi Colin,
Jack up the car and support on axle stands for safety! remove road wheels, undo pinch bolt at the bottom of the suspension hub (might need a ball joint splitter of the fork type to seperate) undo the two nuts & bolts at the engine end of the wishbone, remove the wishbone, refitting is the reverse, tighten the nut & bolts to 50Nm + 90degrees and the pinch bolt to 51Nm
