It's worth bearing in mind the large ball joint (in the middle of the 'L') can get corroded into the subframe - a bit of heat on the threads and a good hammer will usually shift it though.
Failing that, some members do apply pressure with a bottle jack onto the tip of the ball joint thread - but it's a potentially dangerous method so only do this if you're very confident the car is supported well, and you're well clear when it does 'let go'. Personally, it's a bit much for me - I'd take mine to my local garage if it got to that point.

Regarding wishbones, I do have them - I have a selection with and without the bush attached to the rear, and aftermarket or items from MG in China as used on the MG7.

No problem, I always have them here. :)
Just be prepared for that ball joint being seized - heat is key to getting it out in my experience. A good blow torch is essential. :)
