Hi Mike,
When I was faced with this task in the Spring I discovered that the angle of the hub is critical. I seem to remember that although the top of the hub naturally falls inwards, this force needs to be counteracted manually which is not easy as the thing is mightily heavy! At the same time, the springiness of the lower arm needs to be overcome by a firm tap. I didn't have enough hands for this working on the garage floor but when a fellow car maintenance enthusiast answered my call it dropped out in ten seconds!
Next time I'll try your tip.
Simon
