[MBZ] 124 front control arm removal

2005-12-29 Thread Aaron Lam
Hi all, The FSM mentions the use of a spreader tool to expand the joint in the steering knuckle in case it's too tight. Has anyone actually had to use this tool to rr the control arms, or will a BFH / prybar do the job? -Aaron

Just tap a chisel into the gap between the clamping part, the shaft isn't tapered and it will fall right off. Do, however, completely remove the bolt, else the pin won't be free to drop. Peter
