I found these useful:

I found taking the big Torx bolt out, nearest the front bumper, just made it that bit easier to get the ball joint out, using spring compressors would be the best bet though.
Used a 12point spanner on the torx bolts, found it easier.
Lots of topics on this but the 2 links above are the biggest help i think.
Regards, Richard.

hi
did this yester day
dead easy took me about a hour
need hammer. 19mmsocket,12 or 13mm spanner.a 15mm spanner and a pry bar
undo the 2 19mm nuts and take the bolts out from the top,undo pinch bolt on ball joint then pull it out
feed the new one in from the front ,replace bolts then relocate ball joint,this is where you need the bar to pull down so you can get the joint in.
give me a shout if you get stuck

Find a mechanic / garage that knows what there doing, this lot sound a bunch of idiots if they cant even do a simple 206 wishbone.

You'll need to get your tracking done.

Find a 4 wheel alignment centre. Don't go to a garage that does tracking using two wheel front only system. The rear is NOT adjustable but there are so many advantages to the 4 wheel system I can't bother listing and explaining here.
