A gloat
Changed a front lower arm on the D3 yesterday (failed ball joint).
Everything came apart easy peasy
Last changed 10 years ago, covered the bolts in anti-seize (copper slip). Tapped out with a hammer. There was still loads of copper slip on the front bolt, the rear was in worse shape but still knocked out - which I wasn't expecting.
Just goes to show - don't scrimp on the anti-seize 06 D3 SE / 15 LR D90 XS SW / 88 LR 90 Td5 / 68 BMW 2000 ti
Any issues with the site let me know!

If only they put copper slip on from new, it would save us so much agro on the first replacement.Stu
