BIG thanks to Ed for the loan of the Ball Joint Splitter, it did a great job.
Here's the before and after of the front upgrade

Nice one. That should improve the handling mate. :)
What a great helpful club we have ;D
What is wrong with the good old 2-hammers method mate? :) ;) Works for me (assuming you can get them in there of course).
I was thinking of replacing the Midget Armstrong shocks with the conversion kit which does the same as you have, but I have read a lot of horror stories about stress cracks on the Midgets because of the way they mount.
It'll be interesting to see how it improves the ride on your car mate :D
Took the car out for a little drive this eve and it seems that the top arm must be slightly longer and has put the tracking out quite a way, so was a little unsure felt a little stiff too, so a little fiddling then off to a tyre shop for the tracking to be set right. ::)
John I was trying the 2 hammers attack but it wasn't budging :(

That's always the right size!
But size isn't everything, technique is important too ;D ;D

Operator error Bri, you need to get down the weight bay mate ;) :D
Two hammer technique - that reminds me of the two brick technique:
There were these two Arabs the first had a two hump camel and the second had a one humper. The First Arab said, "You have just a one hump camel and it goes further than mine in the desert - how do you get it to take on so much water?"
"Ah, that easy!" said the second Arab. I take my camel to the water hole and when he bends down to drink I creep up behind with two bricks, one in each hand. And just at the right moment -BAM!, I smash him in the nuts - and he sucks up the whole water hole".
First Arab "Doesn't that hurt?!!!"
Second Arab "Not if you keep your thumbs out of the way!"
