It really is 20 seconds to cut the top nut off. The thing to do is to cut the drop link just BELOW the fixing bracket in line with the flats. The droplink falls away and you just pull the nut and thread out from the top

Front drop links removal
This thread should help for those whom do not have a grinder, or do not feel safe using one to cut the link or nut off.

I've got a box full of assorted dust covers from my local motor factor by Mafco - all sizes just for this very occasion. Make sure the ball joint is in fine condition, grease and fit new boot.
