Front suspension arm ball joint dust cover query?

Dust cover on a ball joint is an advisory only. That said, you can buy the dust cover kit on its own. They are a pain to fit, Had to do one on Gerry3's car for the mot.

Thanks Dave, thats what I had got round to thinking it was.
You say that it was a pain, I assume the whole wishbone has to come out to do it? Any advice or "How To"?

It is a failure not an advisory anymore in new MOT rules apparently...
