Failed on n/s wishbone and brake pipes. Not too bad.

Can you deal with those? was it just the normal brake pipe location inside the front wheel arch or where the clips cold them under the body?

Mine too failed on wishbone (balljoint knacked and rear bush almost not existent). That balljoint to sub-frame is a real bitch to move, still not got mine off! good luck with yours.

My days of lying under car are way gone.

Use some heat on it and then whack it with a club hammer , mine popped straight out

Mine needed heat - lots and lots of heat.

Jack it from the pin and let the weight of the car do most of the work.
