Well changing the king pin bearings was easier than I thought lol thanks to Martin for his webshop and how to guide and to everyone else that gave any advice. I have no wobble in either wheel and no leaks on the ball joint so job done 
This was the bottom bearing on passenger side it just fell to bits :S
Welding a blob on really made it easy to punch out good tip
All clean and new seal and bearing races in.
Nearly there..
And finished passenger side. Took me almost as long to get that alloy clean as it did renewing everything lol

Cheers mate
felt pretty good once I'd finished it and all was ok bit of relief haha. It took me an afternoon to do one side and then the other side only took a couple of hours. But to be honest most of the first day was raking around the tool shed at home for the tools lol looks like a bomb hit it
