Sadly, even with the specific tool for the E53 rear ball joint, the new one wanted to go in cocked, no matter how many times I tried to straighten it. Brute force ultimately prevailed.
These press in and press out items are the biggest PITA in maintenance.
Had to go to my Indy mechanic and toss him a $20 to have him use his press and adapters to get the lower control arm bushings out. And his is a 20 Ton stand!
No AutoZone tool available to do the ball joints or the bushings jobs.
The work on the passenger side continues.
