Just requires patience and some persuasion. And do the Ball Joint/Hub last... well that's what I did.

Is better to have two person on this job, taking out wishbones gonna be the easy part. The hardest part going to be putting the new wishbone in, especially trying to slot in the ball joint to the hub. Please refer to this post below, www.206info.co.uk/Foru...hbone.html ps: watch out your drive shalf might pop out! Good luck!

Yeah should use new bolts. If you've got it on the subframe, you'll need a fair bit of leverage to get it onto the hub.

So the wishbone bushes are sat perfectly square in the holes in the subframe? If they are slightly out of line just use a screwdriver through the holes to nudge them into line.

Are you trying to get the wishbone into the subframe? No brute force is needed. If it goes into the subframe perfectly straight then get the front bolt in place, then with just a gentle tapping with a hammer that will get the back bush into position.

Stick the bolt it from the bottom first. Tap it upwards. When the bush is aligned put the bolt in through the top like it should be.

if the threads on the bolt are slightly sticking out put the nut on and tighten the nut. use a bar to lever it in place or alternatively hit it with a hammer dont be shy its metal your

Even if you use a screw driver or a chisel on an angle or a small thin hammer a lever it off the subframe with a bar
