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.
Relying on two wheels and musclepower since the last BX (or any car) had to go.

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!
