Hey Dennis, as you're probably aware Sam added a great how to vid, available in the "How to" section showing the job in detail.
If you have the tools and time DIY...........If time is more precious to you than the £75 get Halfords to do it.
Either way let us kow how you get on
ive watched sams vid many times and again today .
I think I can do the job myself..my son says ..have a go and if we cant do it take it to halford..and thats what im going to to..I have all day tomorrow.wed..and its booked in at halford for thurs am
thanks for your reply

Say Dennis, to assist in removing the fulcrum bolt and the ball joint apply some penetrating oil or WD-40 the night before. Apply to both sides of the fulcrum bolt at the threads, nuts and the center exposed section where it passes through the aluminum frame. Apply just a small amount to the ball joint at the very base of the boot where the stem passes into the seat and to the underside/retaining nut. This will make removal much easier. Take it slow and precise and you should do well.
Good luck.
Good luck.
