I agree the pounding on the lower side of the ball joint could possibly break the ring of the carrier, not much material there. It scares me too so I think I will go with the tool as well since I will be on the ground in the garage. Eff, can you link the CTA tool you bought? I saw the BavAuto tool on ECS.
