That's exactly how I meant. I use the mid-sized ball-pein hammer. It has enough mass and you can still swing it fast enough. Just wanted to check that it's ok to smack the idler arm.
Is it easy to remove the old tie rod end out of the link and put the new one in? You have to undo the clamp first, I presume? I havent done these Mercedes ones before, do they screw out with relative ease?
