try putting a lever bar in the gap to free the splines.
here but on the opposite side ( either on the top or bottom one)



it should come out pretty easy once the clamping force is relieved from the splines

Success, i removed it and put the new one in and the new alloy mount fit nicely, now to connect the rod ends back up is there a certain way the wheel's have to be facing? or just connect them up and a wheel alignment will fix all that later?

If you have'nt moved your wheels whilst doing the swap, you just shorten or lengthen each side so it nicely pops back into place.
But I'd still get a wheel alignment.
