2002 MG ZR drive shafts

here is a step by step guide,if you get stuck give me a shout

1 - jack the front wheels off the ground
2 - remove both front wheels
3 - undo front driveshaft nuts
4 - drain gearbox oil (optional)
5 - release lower balljoint from hub
6 - pull hub assy away from balljoint being careful to protect balljoint rubber boot
7 - prise the driveshafts out of the gearbox with a lever bar or flat screwdriver being careful not to damage diff seals
8 - refitting is the reverse to removal

how do you get lower ball joint off as it aint moving even though i have removed nut it seems as though shock is preventing it from coming off how do i sort this please help it is drive shaft removal

if you have a balljoint breaker tool this will do the job,if not you will need to give it a spray with wd40 and give it a whack with a hammer whilst levering down on the suspension arm being careful not to damage the balljoint rubber and nut,hitting with a hammer will jolt the balljoint and hopefully free it off
