Nissan Micra K12 1.0 suspension arm removal?

[Richard2012]

I have a Nissan Micra 1.0 K12 2004. I am replacing the transverse link/suspension arm and I have removed all 3 bolts and nuts. But the only part of the arm I cant seem to release is the ball joint part from the knuckle. Any pointers to help me remove and replace the arm?

Many thanks in advance,

Here is the technical drawing.

I have removed the horizontal nut and bolt that joins the wishbone and the knuckle together, but the ball joint part of the wishbone is not dropping out.

i had the same on a clio recently, you have to keep that pin dead square else it tilts slightly, and snags on the notch
