Do not use heat, you run the risk of changing the shape or temper of the control arm, and neither distortion nor cracks around the ball joint are desirable. The HF tool will provide adequate pressure, although some vigorous tapping on the control arm to "start" it out is sometimes necessary.
We're not talking about that much heat. Propane torch, not acetylene! May not need it at all...
You can buy the supplementary adapter kit that will have the correct sleeve to push the old one out, too, which is probably the way to go.
It does NOT have anything useful. I bought it, it's untouched. I kept it because it does have necessary adapters for my truck. -- Jim _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
