Knackered CV joint???

[Diamond Hell]

just get the wishbone and track rod ball joint off the hub.

Make sure, if possible, that you knock the ball joint out of the upright, rather than undoing the three bolts that secure the ball joint into the hub - means you shouldn't have to get the wheel alignment reset.

failing that the pikey trick is paint,   clean the end of the wishbone off and give it a light spray with a rattel can,   that way you can put the bolts back where they were.

the only downside is if the ball joint has been there long enough to firmly bond itself in place it's usally a good way through it;s usefull life so frreing it is a bounus as it;ll make changing it later easyer

Other way of doing it is to undo the 2 strut bolts.
Bit easier i think.
