#20: Re: Replacing wisbone, pain in the ass! Help needed! Author: marrygold75, Location: lancashirePosted: Thu Feb 02, 2012 12:52 am ---- when trying to get the bottom ball joint in the hub ,i find that if i push the hub
forward it makes a better angle for the ball joint to go in.
And i always put a bit of grease on,every bit helps.
it also helps if you ever want to get it off.
no jack ,no hammer

to lever the wishbone down with a pry bar and slot it in.
Did you replace the ball joint pinch bolts? Make sure there really tight.
Get the wheel off and have a look for movement with a bar

I found it easiest to unbolt the sub frame and drop it down on the passenger side to enable easier access for the ball joint. Either way, the shaft will come out at some point.
