Type 44 tack control balljoint disengagement from strut.

[rob hod]

    At the weekend I tackled the worn N/S driveshaft cv's on my '88 100.
Being an Auto this involved detaching the strut from the track control arm
by separating the bolt-clamped ball joint. To get the movement to do this I
found I had to compress the spring in the strut and release both the
roll-bar (US - swaybar?) mounts to the subframe, then I eventually levered
and 'bounced' the joint free.

  For next time, I just wondered if anyone had any advice on their favorite,
easiest way to do that particular job?

    Cheers,
