Take the lower arms and hubs off, support it on the old dust shield and twat the hell out of the bolts with a big hammer. It's literally 5 bolts to get the whole lot off, you can't get a decent swing at them when you are scrunched up in the wheel arch.

It's easy with somebody helping, as you dont get as bored and frustrated either in my experience
Use a bigger hammer
(and Plusgas)
Did the other one today. I got the blow torch on it and it made light work of itWe took shifts with the hammer and eventually won. It's easy with somebody helping, as you dont get as bored and frustrated either in my experienceStart to finish including a new tie rod end took less than 2 hours.
Moral of the story is you need the right tools

r.sendout you have pm
or if someone could pm me his number
Finally!!!
I feel like Im getting somewhere
The pasenger side is now done
The drivers side however, isn't
I bought some 3-in-1 penetrating release stuff which worked a treat on the passenger side. Left it on for about an hour and with little effort the hub popped offWent to try the drivers side and it wont budge
So it got another good soaking while I rebuilt the other side, by the time I'd finished, it was getting dark and I had no electricities at the time due to maintenance
Fingers crossed for tomorrow, feeling a little more positive now at least
Oh, and thanks very much for the offers of help
I am a stubborn sod though and hate to be defeated, but thanks anyway
If you can find a couple of bolts and nuts you can rest the heads against the backplate and tighten the nuts against the back of the hub, you may need some washers too. Once you have put it under tension smack the hell out of it then tighten the nuts a bit more as they will be loose, repeat a couple of times and the hub will be off.
It worked a treat for Fry at JAE this year on Deathstar's S13.

you undo them a couple of turns and tw@t them
Blowtorch.... a big one...
Well...?
Been busy with other things this morning, just having a cuppa and I will be cracking on with it
Its only taken me an hourbut its off!!!!
After popping the bearing no more than five times, severe twatting with big hammer, lots of swearing and a sore finger finally it decided to pop off.
Now got the joys of brake cables to look forward too
I found that once you fit the Acme third hand, it's a piece of piss
i had real issues getting mine of, had to do the same let it soak for ages and take of the alignment arms so i couls tilt it forwards then batter the crap out of it for a while
wouldnt it of been easier to get some metal rods just short of the thickness of the bolts slide them in then just belt shit out the end of them ?
Plusgas and a 3ft breaker bar
