I guess that gives you plenty of time to get the steering ball joint out from the stub axle.

If the wb bolts are stuborn the pinch bolt is likely to be a real pita I would think.

got that bolt undone, funnily enough it came undone with no problem, gave it a good soak first

You need two 21mm sockets. A ratchet, a torque wrench.

21 m.m. or a large spark plug socket!
Also best way is to go in from under the bonnet with a few long extensions...

...if you have a helper to hold the bottom bit still.

I did the ones on my old black Mv6 by my self, twas a few years ago but I don't remember it being tricky...

It's one of those jobs that is either a ten minute blindfolded one or a three hour ballache, with little in between. Mine generally falls into the three hour category

If on your own, it's easier from undernieth IMO. ESP as the top access is only available on the drivers side. If he's struggling for tools, there may not be enough extensions to hand anyway. But each to their own as they say.
