Hi Ascona, I did wonder about removing the wishbone from the subframe, but wasn't sure how easy it would be to realign when the bushes are under compression from the spring/strut. Did you jack up the hub to make it easier to remove the wishbone ?

I may still have to get at the ball joint though, as I managed to dislodge the ring that holds the rubber boot at the bottom of the ball joint.

I don't recall having this issue when I replaced the ball joints and wishbones on my v70 - must be a slightly different design?
