I'm in the process of doing a rebuild right now. I pulled the caliper off with the pads still in and it's hanging on the swat bar. The hub and rotor combo is off and I'm not going to do a bearing repack on it, although I do have new seals.

You will need a large two jaw puller. I'll post a pic on my W126 thread, http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/showthread.php?threadid=91934 found here.

I haven't pressed the ball joint out yet. The upper control arm has been replaced but the upper bolt is reversed, IMHO, and comes out from behind. I'm going to get my daughter to help me because she has small arms. It's a PITA to work on because the brake lines and master cylinder are in the way.

I'll do the sub-frame next. I'll post some more pics.

I have to finish cleaning out my dryer vent. It had allot of lint in it.
