After doing this twice in less than a year I couldn't face it again (laid down, gravel, rain, puddle - you know the drill...) so I bought the drop arm removal tool and Gwyn Lewis' Discovery drop arm conversion kit.

Very simple solution to this hell of a job. Fit a disco drop arm and drag link. It uses a regular ball joint which can be fitted in minutes and even drop arm removal is dead easy.

Have replaced the joint on the car using the puller tool, wasn’t too bad but picked a dry warm day 😊

Nice job Mike.

Top vid! .....thanks Mike

Good job and video

Nearly every arm I've had has had the lip that holds the gaiter on broken off , due to folk not changing the joint right. I just use the Gynn Lewis kit and change to D1 style arm now with a trackrod end. I've also had problems with MOT testers not realising how bad the original joints are even when replaced with a new one and them failing a replacement joint.

🐨nice one m8 👍 keep e'm coming 💂

First one of those I did took me a full day, and every swear word I knew. Reiny90 has commented that a disco drop arm is a possible swap, and it has a regular old ball joint on it. Can you confirm Mike... please!!
