i am still new to MK2's and this site, i am a seasoned tech allbeit bmw's,
i am going to be replacing all 4 lower ball joints soon, my through out bearing
is making some noise, so i will just do it all at once.
my method is usefull if you have an extensive tool colection(mine is pushing 10k)
i use a air hammer with a taper punch that is small enough to just fit in the dimpel
on the end of the stud, make sure you are aligned with the stud, if you slip off
you can do serious damage, hold it tightly and hit it with a quick burst, works
great for me and does no damage if carefull.
don't forget eye protection!!!
i will post my results when i do mine, but i have no doubts, i have used this method
for years when i worked for one of those capitalistic stealerships.
