rear ball joint / bushing tool

For those that have replaced the ball joint on the rear suspension - does https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-5-6-7...l/264507408804 look like it will work?

Thanks for the replies - have ordered it and will report back once I've used it in anger.

The tool worked fine but the bearings supplied with it disintegrated as they weren't quite compatible with the supplied nuts so I just used conventional washers. I tightened the tool as much as I could and then applied some heat to the bearing carrier and could hear an audible crack as it started to move. Re-tightened and repeated once or twice and then it slid out the rest of the way without difficulty.
