[diesel_mercedes] Re : Throttle Rod Ball Joint Service

 

As the balls are very easy to snap off , I highly recoment lubing them first , then using the wide flat blade screwdriver to gently work them off for periodic cleaning of the accumulated old rock hard grease , dust and road munge....

If the rod resists popping off the ball , lightly pry the rod away from the ball whilst slolwly working the throttle , as the pivot moves , the rod will pop off and not break nor damage the ball .
