Lower ball joints???

Question

Got an MB2 fastback, D14Z4

These ball joints don't look like they come out without being blocked by the body of the steering knuckles.

Anybody dealt with this before?? All the videos I've seen show a lot more clearance than this.

Not done these myself as usually get a garage to do them for me using a press. Think you're right though, looking at the pics deffo can't see how it's going to clear it enough to get it out. @KiNK43 might know as he replaced all the suspension on his turbo's VTiS?

Oh and make sure to measure diameter in knuckle after removing ball joint. In my country they sell like 3 types (38mm,40mm...etc. ) .

Dont need press for the balljoints.

Id recommend a good quality replacement. Oem or hardrace etc. 

Especially as they have the circlip retainer for what good it is.
