Good luck Richard, it feels really good to be on this side of the job. Getting the arms out is a bit of a fiddle especially if the inner balljoint is seized as you don't want to damage it if you're reusing it. The biggest hassle is access to the bolts on the rear bushes both in removal and especially the refitting of the front bolt as you can barely get your fingers in to start threading it in. Mike's 6'' G clamp tip made it a bit easier to get things started on the refit. I didn't remove the anti roll bar clamp as that also looked a pain to access too and as i couldn't get a socket on the bolts to tighten them to 150nm as per the Haynes manual i used 2 spanners end on end to tighten them as tight as i could plus plenty of copperslip for when i may have to do them again in the year 2022!
