I replaced the front O/S wishbone on my miggy yesterday ... eventually !!!
Not having done one before, I wasn't sure what to expect, but it did sound easy from the how-2 ... but I found getting the vertical bush in and out an absolute pig, along with getting the balljoint out of the knuckle - the latter due to the wishbone vertical mount stopping the wishbone moving down any further!
I managed to get it changed (in the end) albeit I noticed that the boot on the balljoint is now split, so it's gonna have to be done again, along with the track rod as the boots on both ends are also split where I used one of the fork-type seperators on 'em
Looking at it, I think if I use a set of spring compressors to clamp the spring before jacking the car, this should then give me more room to drop the wishbone in order to get the balljoint out, plus then make getting the wishbone itself in and out easier as it should be closer to level ... any ideas or hints?

PS: drop link changed too ... easy peasy!!
