    FTR I used a set of vice grips on the bottom of the shaft for the ball joint to hold it in place while I wrenched off the last bit o nylon in the nut. Of course this only works if you are scrapping the arms because I f'ed the boots and joints all up. Including raising the car it took me about 45-50 minutes. I did like Charles said and used an open ended wrench on the drivers side and then used my 22mm socket with a long extension on the passenger side. The urethane treehouse bushings sure go on a hell of a lot easier than the M3 ones.

    Now hopefully my new swaybar end hardware will finally arrive so I can reattach my swaybars when I put in the Ireland springs/camber mounts and such.
    Im now E30less.
