R32 Rear Hub Carrier - Hicas Ball Joint

[jaik]

Hi

I have an R32 Hicas Rear end in my Cefiro and the ball joint that the Hicas arm bolts to has flogged out and subsequently my wheel now runs what ever toe angle it so desires (read: Wobbles and is very noticeable under power)

I can see that the ball joint is held in via a circlip but I was wondering if anyone knows if they are pressed in hard, or if I should be able to hit it out with force, and subsequently replace it with another one. I would prefer to do this than have to swap out the entire hub carrier - which means doing lower arm as well (easier than doing the lower ball joint etc) and the driveshaft.

Thanks

JK
