Citroen Special Tools
Does anyone know where to buy the citroen special tools or are they just a myth for the main agents?

They certainly existed, and some VERY occasionally come up on ebay and such like. It's often the case that a bit of lateral thinking, copying or just straightforward common sense can lead you to alternatives. For example, refitting the lever on a front caliper is a job where a special Citroen tool is advised to compress the spring washers underneath it, but the job can be improvised with basic tools and a vice.
Back on two wheels and pedal power for the moment.

either Facom or Sealey have it on there website and its about that much delivered! I was very kindly lent one by a Andyspares member last time i did it and it makes the job dead easy. The one i changed was very badly corroded but i did as i was advised and basically set fire to the ball joint untill it started to bubble, then gave it a few minutes and put the tool on with a breaker bar. It came straight off without breaking a sweat, very impressive!
