Fairly simple job if your doing just arms is easier and just undoing the three ball joint nuts off the arm and leaving the ball joint in the hub .  If changing everything including balljoint its slightly trickier as will need a chisel to wedge in the hub to remove the ball joint

Balljoints are abit different on a 5 stud (16v), tapered fit with a nut on top. Bit awkward to seperate, but a sharp blow with a hammer or use a balljoint splitter. But as above only required if changing balljoints  :smiley:
