BigKriss and I just jack up the steering arm so it gradually pressures the joint with the weight of the car (just enough). Worked fine. Be careful not to lift the car off the jack stands and/or otherwise make it fall on you, a phat e34 and phlatter driver makes for a definate no-show on race day mate...

ps- oh and be creful with your dust boots, sometimes they don't spin on the joint (I oiled mine with 2 drops of sewing machine oil and made sure they did- one of our arms wanted to rip the boot apart when the ball-joint's was twisted within the arm (as it does in operation), a contaminated joint would only have lasted lasted a 6 months on the car.. wrecking- so a boot means you will be doing it again be4 very long.
