The wishbones can only be purchased with their A and B casings already fitted. You only
have to mount the ball joints 77 11 128 370 :
 Fit the snap ring 77 11 162 563 in its groove (B casing)
 Heat the casing (oven) et cool the ball joint (freezer)
Do not heat the complete wishbone more than 100°C not to damage the point
E ball joint.
 Fit the ball joint using a pressing machine leaning on the external ring of the
ball joint, without glue (If you do not have a press, a vice should be sufficient)
 Fit the snap ring 77 11 128 850
 Repeat this procedure for the 3 other ball joints
! WARNING ! Without either heating the casing or cooling the ball joint, you could
damage the parts because of too important force. Be careful to not deform the inner
shoulder of the B casing.
