Take it to a proper Volkswagen workshop near you who knows what they are doing.
Buy the latest VWMA issue at your newsagents, look through all the ads and choose one close to you. Or tell us where you live and we'll recommend one.

need to be careful that the arms don't get bent...
Best to get the best You can...

There is hardly anything to hang on to , it is hard enough in a decent press, best to remove the arms and take them to a suspension place to have them changed out, a lot of force is required for removal.
