Looks like a member 'uteman' purchased a pair of the laser tools 5977 + 5978 but also appears to have sold his L322 in Jan so i suspect that he's not active and checking this forum.
Does anyone know him/have an email possibly to contact him?
Either that or I'm going to attempt w/ some ebay kit!
RRC ball joints............. split pin out, castellated nut off, bottle jack putting a LITTLE pressure on the underside of the ball joint thread, pin torch on only one small spot on the hub housing where the taper is, pops out without a really big bang.

Well, i went and bought this one:
27pc Universal Press And Pull Sleeve Kit Bush Bearing Removal Insertion Tool Set | eBay
Seems like it will do the trick.
i think he's still around, i got a message from him not so long ago. have you tried pm or email via pmQuote:

I rented it off Uteman last time! He probably still has it...
If you have a very tight one (one of mine was stuck hard) get a stainless cap nut (as they are softer) tension the bushing removal tool as tight as you dare (I snapped a very strong threaded rod first go!) And put the cap on so it's on the nut for the tool... Then wail on it with a bolster... I got mine off with a lot of hammering, then tighten again, hammer again, etc.
Mine were original and only a small amount of surface rust but enough to jam one tight.
I recommend the lemforder bushes unless you like doing it twice...
Thanks for the tips :) Lemforder parts arrive tomorrow, hopefully i won't have to bash at it.Quote:

See if I can get a refund..
Its a bit of a muck around and had to drop air out of the EAS to give me some ease of movement but follow your nose and no probs.
Cheers!
