Ball joints replaced, now no creaking
to get the wishbones down and free off the bottom ball joint, using a strop around the wishbone the other end on the opposite side sub-frame and ratchet the wishbone down, it will hold it there whilst you carry out the work needed then once the ball joint is back in place release the strop to allow the wishbone and ball joint to come together.
makes it easier than using crow bars to push the wishbone down whilst trying to get the joint apart or together
