Thanks Charles,

I spent most of Saturday fruitlessly doing the rounds trying to find a workshop with a suitable press and willing to do the control arm bushes.
One fellow thought he had the right equipment but was too chicken to try in case he damaged my control arms.
That job will have to wait until Monday when I can approach some real machine shops.....

Meanwhile I am having extreme difficulty unscrewing the allen head screws that hold the inner axle to the inner CV joint.
I have loosened all but one screw by attacking the nuts at the back.
I bent and rounded two allen keys trying from the front.

Reading all the related articles I see no description of how these screws are loosened apart from the fact the nuts at the back have locking mechanisms.

Is there a technique to loosening these allen screws that I should know about?

Ta,

Neville.
