Hi gang,
Need to replace the upper ball joint/control arm on my W115. Seems pretty easy
to do, trickiest part being to separate the steering knuckle from the upper
ball joint.

What about leaving a slight amount of spring tension on the upper
joint, unscrewing the nut until it is flush with the end of the stud
and then giving the stud a whack with a BFH?
