Nex 17 Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 If it is anything like an old beetle you will need like a 1 tonne press to get it out and in, if you are replacing it? Link to post Share on other sites

Nex 17 Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 uh right if you are trying to take the arm with ball joint still in off the car and you just need to dislodge it from its seat, you just need a ball joint press l think they are called, cost about £5 for a cheap one for helfrauds Link to post Share on other sites
