Hi folks,

Christmas eve blessed us with this prob :






So, I've removed the spring and the nuts from the eccentric bolts in prep for removing the arm and bringing it to someone to press in a new ball joint. But first I need someone to clariy what exactly needs to be done...

I've seen these for sale :


Can I have this pressed in as I suggested above? Or will I need to replace the arm?

To remove the broken bits, is it just a matter of removing the clamp bolt on the steering knuckle and then the top half of the broken joint slips out ? (the bit with the ball).
Also, on a related note... if this the above is the case, I see "ball joint seperators" for sale... why wouldn't you just remove the clamp bolt from the steering knuckle to drop the wishbone/A-Arm?

Many thanks!
Steve
