		> If you take off the strut removing the track rod end with the correct tool and removing the ball joint pinch bolt etc, why would the alignment be out, as far as this dim brain can work out non of the settings will have been altered on re assembly. Which settings will alter?

		The ball joint may not be in quite the same place.  The top of the
		strut may not settle in the same place if the mount rotated.
		Both may affect camber.

		If you have the right tool, you don't need to pull the strut for
		wheel bearings...  unless you can't get the **** circlip out,
		pull the strut anyway and use the press to push the bearing out
		using the inner race to release pressure on the circlip.
		(Happened on Pete Kunzler's black 4kcsq last week... three
		different circlip tools, heat, BFH, nothing made it move.)
