Have the correct tools for rebuilding beams (I'm talking of stubborn bastard beams here!)?
The Xsara VTS beam I've just rebuilt needed hydraulic pullers/slide hammers, the pinnacle being a 10T press to get the bars out.
As Anthony says, it's pot luck with beams these days. It took me over a year and 3-4 beams till I found a good 205 one. All 'appeared' to be OK, moving freely and no nasty noises. It's only when you strip them, can you decide whether it's a good one or not.
