DRIVE SHAFT REMOVAL/REFIT

[Niall]

not sure what you mean by the rubber being damaged when you remove the pinch bolt?!

Worth noting that if you remove the ball joint with the three bolts, you may find you have adjusted the toe in/out and need to track it up.

pinch bolt is best way in my trained/experienced opinion

Depending how heavy handed you are, you could damage the dust boot but it obvious its there. If you have a proper ball joint splitter, it wont damage it!
