Finally managed to get to the point where it was time to get the car up on the axle stands to tackle the next stage of the suspension overhaul. OS Wishbone came off without any problems and I spent the afternoon hacking, drilling and sawing away at the old bushes until I had one wishbone stripped down. The other I’ll tackle tomorrow, hopefully with fewer broken drill bits…

Tried to press out the bottom ball joint and managed to bend the lever on the 1 tonne vice, so I’ll be taking them to the garage after all.
Also turns out that the Spoox coolant hoses are completely the wrong ones for the car. What I need are these.
