X5 E53 Rear ball joint removal/install tool for under $100 brand new
Why pay between $50 to $150 to rent this tool when you can buy a brand new one for under $100.

I used this tool and was able to remove and install my ball joint in under 10 minutes.

BTW: I tried those homemade options using plumbing pipes and exhaust tubes, they were a waste of time and money.

Recoup your cost and help out other members of the forum

do you just take off the wheel to remove and install the new ones, or is there more disassembly required?
