Hi
After getting and advisory on my MOT for the nearside front lower ball joint I've decided to change them both. I've bought the parts from Steve at AF along with new sump and service kit again so its going to be a busy day.
Anyway I'm just looking for any tips or advice on how to get the old ball joints out, I think I've worked out how I can reinstall them. I'm hoping that as the wheel bearings have been off recently stripping down shouldn't be too difficult.
Cheers

If you want to take them out and replace without having to beat them with a hammer then one of these works great

Old td5 trick put the lower Ball Joint in the freezer overnight it'll contract the metal and make it easier to fit.  Land Rovers don't leak they just mark there spot
1973 Land Rover Series 3 110 safari Gone but not forgotten
1990 Discovery 200Tdi Gone thank god
1996 Discovery 300Tdi sadly missed (still going strong but not with me)
2003 Discovery TD5 Gone to LR heaven
2004 Discovery TD5 Gone to Aberdeen hope it likes it there
2005 RRS HSE Rimini Red (my Disco 3 in a posh frock)
Think I see a pattern here
