quick questiong for replacing control arm on 2002 bmw
That was the number 1 problem since the E46 cames out in ´98!
Meanwhile the engineers managed it thats these bushings are more durable than the older versions.
Even the first ones of the Gen.II Controlarms were crappy!
I know it, because i´m working at a BMW dealership myself!

U´re right, there´s a lot of them.
Some like this should work:
Dreiarm Abzieher Gr.3 Klauenabzieher Neu (915) bei eBay Handwerkzeug, Werkzeuge, Auto Motorrad Teile (endet 01.10.07 22:03:00 MESZ)
But u better look for a shorter one, the puller in this link seems ab lil´bit too long for the job.

ok cool, they had one like that but smaller to loan at the store
As I have mentioned somewhere, try doing them on an E38! As with pretty much everything on BMWs (except the back of the V8s on E53s...bleh) its easy, but it takes a while and builds muscle
