Well, the snow is flying and the TR6 is away for the winter ... time to
start the winter projects.

I decided I'd try rebuilding the front suspension. I've ordered the
bushings, trunnions, ball joints and tie-rod arms from TRF and with any luck
they won't be backordered.

I took apart the right front on the weekend and now I've got the pieces down
in the basement soaking to clean us the old grease and ready for some paint.
Now the problems start.

I'm trying to remove the upper ball joint from the vertical link and the
outer tie rod ball joint from the steering arm. From pictures of the
replacement parts they don't look like they screw in so ---- how do you get
them out ? and then the next part --- how do you seat the new ones in?

Thanks for the help. The first of what I suspect will be a number of
questions. It's the amateur hour !!!
