I don't think you can actually change those ball joints!!! Those steering bars can be a pain!
Front axle seals are easy

I think you can do it with like 2 or 3 spanners (12, 13, 15mm?), a wheel brace and a jack
(axle stand for safety)

One end it is fixed the other end screws off. cant remember which way round it is so you might get lucky.

Are the seals on the front axle actually leaking or just a bit greasy. They normally look a bit messy but if there isn't oil coming out I wouldn't worry.

If there is oil coming out its not the felts and seal on the hub as they are just to keep the crap out of the cv. It will be the oil seal in the end of the axle tube.

Remove the wheel and caliper then remove tie rod. Now remove the 8 little bolts holding the big seal onto the swivel knuckle and remove the felts and seal from behind. Now take out both kingpins and you should be able to pull the whole thing with shaft from the axle and replace the seal you will see in the end of the axle tube.

The tie rod end that connects to the wheel hub comes off, but the others don't.
You can split the bar in 2 bits though, so you may only need to find the top bar (drag link i think)

Could of saved a lot of babbling if we'd have had that earlier. We need a "Darrell" button. For situations like this.

I'd be surprised if none of our members have a spare!
