Wanted to replace the control arms on my 2000 740il and decided to purchase the eight piece set from oembimmerparts. Looked up the write up on e38 and got myself setup to do the job. I cannot for the life of me get the ball joint separated on the lower control arm. I am using a pickle fork and banging the crap out of it. Can't seem to locate a different tool that will do the job.
Also I replaced the link, the straight piece with a ball joint on each side, and when I turn the nut on the screw going into the ball joint the screw is spinning and I can't get the nut to tighten down. Any help you folks can throw my way would be great.
