Don't be so hard on your self. Nothing is ever easy. Getting the boot interior trim off is a pita i broke two clips. Take your time. Get some pointers before you start.. or loose your temper and break something.

Not sure if you have one handy, but a Ball joint separator has worked for me before. Just need to put a cloth or something behind it to protect the glass. This is one from Halfords:

Okay, an update! I gave up :sad1:
Decided that it was time to call it a day and go to bed, went a wee drive first so I can go to bed with a wee smile on my face though! The boyfriend is gonna have a look tomorrow.. I'll ask if he can supple me tools and lemme know how best to go about it so I can at least say I've finished a job by myself :ashamed: :ashamed: I've never done anything like this before so it would be nice to say I have haha, even if it's just a tiny thing!

Keep going. First time I changed an oil filter on my mk2 it took over 8 hours and several layers of skin to get it off. Now it takes less that 5 minutes. Practise makes perfect!

Agreed! If you never try any of these jobs you'll never learn, but once you have attempted a few things then it all becomes a little less scary. Good luck - your Eddy is looking amazing.
