I have a sorn polo with two brand new front wishbones but it is a non runner, i have another polo which needs new wishbones and rather than getting them i'd rather just take them off the sorn'd one and replace, but have no idea what tools i need or if it's an simple job?

You need a 13mm socket to remove the balljoint bolts and anti roll bar links, and either a 17 or 19 depending on the age of the polo to undo the left and back bolts
Its not the easiest of things to do I will say that.

Easy if you have an impact driver

You shouldn't use an impact driver on the wishbones due to the captive nuts they use. It's very easy to rip them out!
