    unless of course you are very lucky and it hasnt been put on too tight......
    (but this never happens..... )


    but thanks....i will look into repairing mine rather than replacing it.....definitely a cheaper option......
    I got mine off - with two crowbars as levers with jacks under the ends (lifted the front end nearly off the ground), then gave the side of the arm a belt with a hammer and drift - levers, spacers, and the arm flew in all directions.
    Repairing the ball joint was trivial after that. I believe that it is possible to do in situ, and it is probably easier overall, if you take into account the problems getting the arm off.

    It's superceded a few times & is now RBG000010. LR have 7 in their stock.

    I'd say the UK option is the way to go though if it's the same quality.

    I will need to do this soon. I have the kit and it looks straight forward to do. There is no hole to add a grease nipple in back plate so do I just plaster in as much grease as I can during assembly?
    If the drop arm doesnt come off easily I will use a jack to compress the spring.

    Whan I did mine I found a G clamp did the replacement job quite nicely.

    Ouch, just got quoted $147 plus freight for that part from my local L/R Dealer. I think I'll go the FWD option unless there is an better quality alternative for similar price.
