Hey all, I did a search but figured I would add a post.
I am changing my ball joints on my 98 SLK230 with 211k on it.
I got the ball joint out, but the locating pin stayed on the a-arm. The replacement ball joint has its own locating pin on it.. I was told to remove the locating pin from the replacement ball joint as the one on the car could break then I would have to replace that part.
Any ideas on how to remove this locating pin ?

Thanks in advance...
