At the moment, I have 4 cars with these rear ball joints (2 x5's & 2 E39's). I bought the CTA tool thinking it would more smoothly remove/install and might last longer. It worked great the one time I have used it so far. If you go the CTA route, make sure you get a 26mm deep-ish socket or box end wrench to turn the nut.

Exactly the information about the bearing in the tool I appreciate. Is it necessary to remove the swing arm or can it be done by lowering the arm enough to get the tool in place? I would assume removing the lower shock bolt as it becomes a droop limiter? I have the ZSP sport suspension with coils not bags.
