ok so I'm nearly there, unsure of how to proceed getting the knuckle off the strut.
I've lowered the subframe, removed all bolts etc and separated the lower arm balljoint. I'm not really sure why that's necessary, but getting the knuckle off the strut is confusing me.
First question, how are you supposed to get to the back of the pinch to hammer something in there?
Second question, how far does it need to come? I've only got a small gap, about 10mm between the bottom of the strut protruding through the knuckle, and the driveshaft underneath. Do I need to wedge it into some strange position to get clearance?
Hope someone can answer, car been on stands for 3 weeks now cos of the horrible weather!!
