$25 each to press out the old lowers. Still better than me futzing around with it, and wife ran them out to the shop while I did the uppers.
Probably one of the more rewarding and fun jobs on the W123. Used a simple pickle fork on both upper and lower BJs and tie rods (I have a 3 pickle fork set).

Please explain "just left it there"...
the 123 has an enormous spring that must be safely compressed if you are removing the LCA...
