did you just use an impact gun to get all the bolts out on the ball joints/tie rods?
i used the allen heads on the bolts and ring spanners which just rounded off the inside on the ARB tie rod which i had to destroy to get off to renew. i soaked them in plus gas for days too!
i was going to rattle them off but didnt want to use one on the ball joints.
sorted now though anyway....
