to save destroying the ball joint boots when removing them slacken the nut so it is on the end of the thread then hit the arm with a large hammer a few times and the joint will pop out.
good to see one step forwards and two back happens to other people too, you will get there though.

i should no better then to use a splitter as they destroy rubbers but had a momentary lapse in concentration lol
