I used a BFH (Big Fu***ng Hammer) for removal as pressing without the BMW specific tool proved to be futile. Absolutely douched everything in PB Blaster then used a torch to heat around the ball joint. Just swing for the fences and they popped out. I used the autozone 23 piece press kit to put the new one in. I froze all my bushings and ball joints in my -10 deep freezer and coated everything in copper anti seize. Everything went fairly amazing
