Not rocket science, but you need a good ball joint splitter to separate the end joint, and a torque wrench to tighten evertyhing up properly. Probably a 5-6?

Just need to remember not to tighten the nut securing the arm until the wheels are at normal position, there is a line on the arm and on the chassis which need to line up. If you don't do this you risk damaging the bushes.

OK, thanks then, having had to replace a set of arms that weren't OEM and only did about 10k, I wouldn't but anything that wasn't either Porsche or the ones with the Porsche logo ground out.
