Hi everyone,
The upper balljoints for both front wheels on my 1985 900i are shot (broken boots, etc.) and the only part where I'm getting stuck is getting the ball joint shaft out of the swivel member. The Bentley manual says not to use a generic ball joint separator fork.
There is a Saab special tool (# 89 95 409 shown but is a substitute tool available from anywhere else? Short of being able to get a Saab tool or a suitable alternative, what other methods can be used to get the balljoints out of the swivel member?
I've emailed the people at Samstag Sales
Regards,
Craig.
