    Default Who needs the gym..

    when you ´ve got a beemer!

    Changed my thrust arms today, left balljoint was like welded in.. Took a tall hydraulic jack, a big big hammer and a Hulk-like amount of brute force, to get it out! Right side was a walk in the park, it was already loose.

    So now both are changed, torqued to specs under load and I just hope that the Meyle HDs last coz I won´t want to do this again for some time ! Car handles beautifully now and I´m totally beat..

    On the bright side, all I need to do now is to change the valve gaskets, the center, r/l tierods plus the pitman arm and even better my center silencer is falling apart/rusting away.. Aaargh!
