Ball joint splitter (the type that looks like a tuning fork) and a hammer. |

Big bar forcing the ball joint away from the knuckle with a weight on the end - say a 7 stone housewife.

I was changing the wishbones anyway as the bottom ball joints were worn (one got an advisory but the other want far behind it once removed) But yes the ball joint splitter does damage the rubbers but it is nice and easy to do. |
