Ideally you want a straight pull from the socket with the breaker bar but realise you may need need to add extension or swivel , but each will loose you leverage . I would go down the impact socket route first trying 18mm or 11/16 af (approx 17.5 mm) using as last resort your extractors ! You can hammer on impact sockets if you have the room Last edited by TourerSteve; 13th June 2021 at 10:07.. |

I've done it with the breaker bar - the bolts are out!!!
What's the consensus on the easiest way to split the wishbone from the subframe?? |

Damn! My wishbone and bush didn't come with new bolts and I'm not putting these back in - anyone know the size off the top of your head??

The breaker bar is fantastic - I've been after one for ages. I'm reticent to spend 16 quid on bolts in case I can't separate the ball joint but hey, in for a penny in for a pound!

Post 76.----Lump hammer.--Unscrew the nut until it's flush with the end of ball joint thread. Use a flat piece of hardwood or alloy against the nut then whack it.----------
