I just used a pair of long nose pliers and a flathead screwdriver. Flathead to pop the ball joints off and the pliers to "crimp" them back together.

Len, I went to the MB dealership (House of Imports here in CA) and they don't sell that MB grease. They mentioned Speedy-Glo or something like that. I asked the parts department. Should I drop by again and ask somebody else? Also how can the MB stuff not attract dirt, when the sunroof is open the grease is exposed to the dirt/air? Also, did I lube it right? When you open the sunroof the metal rails that are immediately visible are the ones I lubed. But I noticed that there was like a C-section when you look really close. Am I suppose to lube the space in between too? There's like an upper and lower rail, with a space between perhaps where a "guide" runs through for the moving roof.

Also, how do you lube the ball linkages if the ATF will just drip off? Won't that be temporary?
