Dave,
I did this job on my car about two years ago. I found it fairly straight
forward, although, it helped that the engine was out and I had removed the
inner wings for stripping and repainting. The biggest problem was removing
the old ball joints which are tightly threaded into the control arms. Two
came out O.K.with a long bar and a lot of sweat, but the remaining two
refused to budge and in the end I took them to a local engineering shop where
they welded bars onto them and turned them off with a heavy duty lathe.They
charged about £10 but it was worth it. If you don't have a big enough socket
for the joints, you can get a special Ford Transit hub socket which fits and
is relatively inexpensive.]
Good luck,
Tony
