Thanks for the great guide, but I'm currently having trouble removing the outer ball joint from the steering knuckle. The two 13mm bolts Figure 1 came off easily, but the joint itself seems to be firmly stuck in there.

The ball joint is likely stuck due to corrosion. Use a soft-faced hammer (such as brass) and tap the ball joint around the perimeter until it is free.
