2) Wear safety goggles. All that rust, dirt and crap on the bits you remove falls straight into your eyes until you have it removed.

3) Find some magic gloves that don't tear, don't get in the way of what you are doing and stop all the little cuts and scratches on you fingers.

4) Don't fully unbolt the easy last two bolts at the back of the control arm before breaking the ball joints.

5) Speaking of ball joints, once you have used the ball breaker on them you need a 16mm spanner to undo them.

Of these wise words I only used number 4 today. Number 5 occurred after 10 minutes.

Anyway, Still alive and more tomorrow
