     :thumbsup:
     :worshippy Today the tool from "dutch" arrived  :worshippy
    The upper ball joint was not easy to get out even with this tool  :swear:
    But finaly it realized who was the boss i the garage  :ylsuper:

    Had to use a ~28" (700mm) long "shaft" and some heat before it started to move

    But I guess the tool won´t stand for one more of these battles  :grinyes:

    Thankx dutch,couldn´t be more happy today

    No not a chance a wise would done the job  :grinyes:

    I got both of them out and I guess it´s not that hard to get the new ones in place and tighten
    The tool is still ok but has flexed a bit so to loosen another that are tight may not work but to get new ones in place shouldn´t take that much of power ..................I hope  :grinyes:

    But who knows if I need one some other day  :grinyes:
