Thanks very much for all the advice.
I did manage to contact Glyn and he sent me across his detailed instructions, which were excellent, best I've seen so far for removing the bearing carriers.
I have both off now, and will start to remove the bearings clean and paint the parts ready for reassembly.
Hardest part of the job for me was removing both drop links from the struts, they were both seized, i had to hacksaw them off and buy replacements (not to expensive). Also dropping the bottom ball joint out of the way by myself was a task...I used a G clamp to pull the lower arm down.
Working out how to remove the parking brake cable was also tricky but once you know it is an easy job.
