couple questions regarding Arnott air spring replacement
1)sorry, can't search right now. I remember seeing that people used a certain lube for a certain o-ring or so. I can't find it now, since the search is broken.
Does anybody have a link or remember what to put on?
2)How do I get the balljoints out of the spindle? Lucky me got the pinch bolt out, but now I can't get the BJs out.
3)Anything else somebody remembers to pay attention to while I am at it?
Thanks a lot

You need a ball-joint separator i believe.

I had the same trouble, I ended up prying open the pinch part of the...
..pinch bolt with a BF screwdriver while applying upwards pressure on the tie rods. For me this part was way harder than getting the pinch bolt out.
