It can be done but for the sake of undoing 2 off 11/16" nuts and splitting the top b-j I have never seen the point of struggling.......

Get yourself a scissor type splitter so you don't knacker the balljoint and you are away.

I sometimes dont bother when taking engines out as its easy enough to shuffle on the engine crane but always take them off when putting an engine in.

Just sometimes easier to keep the car on its wheels when taking the engine out. depends how fussed i am about bits and bobs and what im taking out.
