Front lower arms removal
Evening all my first post on here
So a little premature for you disco 5 owners I know,but just a heads up/tip for when you do need to replace your front lower arms it’s a very straight forward job but the tapered joint that goes into the hub knuckle is as I found out today,pretty impossible to remove without the correct tool (JLR-204-793) i tried all the tricks of the trade but it wouldn’t budge
borrowed the correct tool and bingo 
for reference this was a RRS 2014 but believe the same arms as disco 5 and L405.
Maybe I had an odd ball very stubborn one but thought I’d share my experience just incase you thought ah just two bolts job done on the drive
that tool looks like it will do most of the other joints around the car too.
Torque settings for the bolts/nuts
Taper to knuckle end 290Nm
Inner nut and bolt 100Nm + 360 degs new nuts and bolts needed
I have questioned the 360deg part with LR as it seems way to tight
