Just finished replacing the UCAs on both sides of the car. Purchased brand new FEBI replacement parts with new rubber bushings (4) all around. Had no major problems - one of the ball joints was a little hard to separate, but the pickle fork and a sledge hammer soon convinced it to let go...

The rest was real simple. Re-assembled everything putting a dab of anti-seize on every nut and bolt along the way. In the process I've also cleaned out the rusty battery tray, cleaned out the plugged up drain, and rotated the tires. Hopefully they won't wear as much (inside wear) now with the new UCAs in place.

Thanks to all for all the comments, advice and pictorials - all very, very helpful. Much appreciated - a very rewarding experience.

Good motoring -
James
