Yup, both sides done...but...I had to remove the entire hub carrier/ knuckle / spindle - whatever you want to call it to do it.

Placed the knuckle on two blocks of wood either side of the balljoint, and beat the ball joint out with a 4kg lump hammer and drift from above.

There is absolutely no way I could do it with the knuckle still attached to the car - the force I applied was tremendous and percussive..you’ll never pull it out if they’re as stuck as mine were.

If I had to do it again, I’d just bite the bullet and get the knuckle off and onto a bench straight away, and not mess about with it still attached to the car - I think that saves time in the long run.

Good luck!!
