Thanks for chiming in Dorin, at the price of the special tool its really a no brainer since I'm sure someone would either rent from you afterwards or buy it off you, for $60 its worth to have the right tool for the job.

With the proper tool and perhaps a day or two prior of spraying the area down with penetrating spray to loosen everything up, the actual press in/out of the ball joints is not even the hardest part of the job, its probably wrestling with the wheel carrier to line up the integral link to get it back installed which is the toughest part.
