Removing the Thrust Arm Ball Joint
Hi,
I'm getting mentally prepared to replace the thrust arms on my E34 535 (parts on their way from, whom else, bma). Two questions come to mind:
First, is the BMW ball joint puller available for rent from any of the major parts places? Has anyone had success using a generic puller?
Secondly, Bentley does not offer a torque spec for the nut on the ball joint for the thrust arm (perhaps I missed it?) but does mention 68 lbs-ft for the ball joint on the control arm. What should one torque to, 68?
Thanks for your input,
Adnan
