are you doing upper or lower? if you are doing lower, there is a special press tool that is needed, i couldn't imagine doing it without the tool, due to the shape of the arm, it will not fit in a conventional hydraulic press.

Here's the secret: Check it out in Diesel Discussion. Somebody there has a thread with a bunch of pictures. He managed to do it with an autozone press. You can also see my DIY but it's for the W124.
