Is there a guide for a how too. Had a look but couldnt see one. I know these are a common fault on migs and I just had a nightmare changing mine. Got there in the end but was no where near as straight forward as the book of lies said.
Was wondering if anyone on here has a better way than bars jacks and swearing to get them fitted. To late for me as Ive just finished but may be of benefit to others in the future.
Sorry if there is a topic already.

Have a look see, needs updating re correct torqueing procedure tbh.
ie with wheels on thr ground, suspension loaded, or they fail early ::)

Cheers Chris, sorry for asking a question that has been sorted. I did look before I started but missed the link. Will remember about the index next time, thanks. I guess mine were so hard as I didnt remove the 2 bolts for the leg, just the pinch bolt and knocked the wishbone out from there. Problem was getting the ball joint back in as there is no movement on it when trying to refit it and it is on a jack to get the height correct.
Hope this helps someone else in future and if anyone wants to ask a question please ask me now I have done the job.

no worries.
However, would like to stress the torquing procedure, and ask he you followed it correctly. Although cant remember it exactly, :-)
If the bolts where tightened wheels in the air, you may have problems.
Would hate for your wishbones bushes to fail early and be back in the same boat.
