Bulli:
I changed my rod end(oohh err) recently to fit heavy duty ones. Buy a splitter form Halford or your nearest motor factors place. Cost under a tenner and makes removing it a doddle. You cant gat a hammer at it easily and rick damaging your steering bow...which is far more costly. The splitter will come in handy for all those other annoying jobs that you used to hit with a hammer!!!

im still a bit confused about how you actualy get the ball joint out does it com out of the bottom of the arm

thanks for the offer turtle did you say you had an arm or the balljoint

BigA:
Drop arm a pig to get off, i fitted a replacement steering box to the 90, couldn't get the drop arm off for anything, luckily brought new one with box, but had to try to remove to send old box to paddocks. Swivel pin not to bad, you will need a splitter to disconnect the steering rod thingy, then their is a cir-clip that has to be removed from the underside, and it all drops out, watch for the spring though, its more obvious when you get the new one and see all the bits, a right [!Expletive Deleted!] to put back though i found, took some serious swearing and lot of huffing and puffing  :lol:

defenderdan:
If you just want to get the ball joint out you first have to take the drag link off from the top. Then if you look underneath the ball joint you will see a big circlip, take this out and the joint and various cups and washers will drop out. Be careful though because it is spring loaded, and note the order that it goes together. Due to it being spring loaded it can sometimes be a pig to refit.
 If the joint has a significant amount of wear in it, then the arm could be worn as well. It might be as well to just change the whole thing. I once changed just the ball joint only to find there was still too much wear and had to then change the arm.
