Syy0628 13 Report post Posted August 3, 2018 (edited) Hi, I am going to do the front outer ball joint on my E36 beater this weekend, I have a ball joint separator that should be able to get the old one off, but I figure it will be rather difficult to get the new one in without a balljoint toolkit (C clamp with adapter type). Does anyone in Auckland have one that I can borrow for a few days? Many thanks Richard Edited August 3, 2018 by Syy0628 Many Reasons Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am thinking to lube it really well, put a chain around the control arm and the jack and put the ball joint on the jack and jack it into the control arm.

But now I found one on eBay for $40, US, which is not that bad. I might try to hack it in first, and get the tool if it won't go in.
