I am going to change the upper wishbone ball joints on a Jaguar E-Type at the weekend. http://www.sngbarratt.com/catalogue/parts/show.asp?id=7486&keys=&modelfamilyid=14&categoryid=4&stype=2&pagepos=0&back=y&next=y Any tips on this? Particularly on driving out the old ball joint and inserting the new...

I'd pay £87.50 for that

Ooops copy and pasted the wrong username while watching the GP. Corrected!

The benefit of the "drive it days" are that the general public can see that classic cars can be and indeed are owned and driven by ordinary everyday people.
