bloody ball joints

[jbee]

its mot time and the outer ball joints are knackered on my 318i, is there anyone living near hengoed in the south wales valley who knows anyone with a ball joint press, i dont really want to buy new wishbones cos they throw the tracking out

Most shops have it.

I made one out of an old brake system. It can press 1000Kgr its ideal for jobs like urs. It needs a shit load of work to build better have them pressed on a workshop

just done mine tonight. give it a good squirt with wd40, let it soak in for a while and rattle the wishbone where the ball joint goes in with a heavy hammer and they come free eventually. not easy though. certainly won't be tonight!
