cortina ball joints

sounds thick, but how do you get them off the cortina wishbones? the bolts holding them on are those headless efforts...

cheers

if you decide to use old ones, which is unusual then you can drill through the rivet, then if needed use a chisell to seperate the pieces. Try to get the centre punch certral so you do not make the hole too big.

You can buy new joints as separate parts.

Also most people now use Austin Maxi ball joints that are a more suitable design.

If you are making your own whisbone from the book it might be an idea to do search on some the threads on the major problems with the book design.
