Finally - a decent ball joint kit using two tools at once plus the occasional use of plusgas and a solid mallet!

The new suspension bushing slips in very easily with some silicone grease. Used the old bolt and socket method - thank you youtube.

This is the standard van C press kit. It worked more than ok on the jag. I think you need to remember to oil all the parts involved!

Upper and lower ball joints after removal. It seemed a good idea to chop off the shaft of the lower one - might have been because of the tool sizes

Retaining bolt has seen better days. M10 bolt, 55mm shaft for future reference.

Press set up for the lower ball joint. Basically just tighten it until it seems like it wont go any further ever, then a little more, then whack it with the hammer. if it doesn't pop, it needs to be tighter.

Cutting the edges of the lower ball joint in the same fashion as the upper. Once again, a small angle grinder with a cutting wheel is a lot quicker than the dremel
