Here Is the answer to my own question. The best way I found was to undo the bottom link while the car is on ramps use an extension on your socket wrench to reach the nut, you will need a openend spanner to hold the bolt still at the knuckle end while undoing the nut. Roll the car off the ramps and jack up and remove the wheel to ge to the top link, using the spanner again. Fit new top link, tighten as required, refit wheel, put the car back on the ramps and fit the bottom link.I know its a pain putting the car back on the ramps but Using the ramps compresses the suspension enough for easy fitting.
