The special tool looks like a slide hammer with an attachment so that it threads onto the ball joint. Interesting. What is on the other side (non threaded side) of the ball joint? Can you just take a socket and hammer and whack it out?
I need to look into how to get this ball joint out if I need to. It's been 114k miles on my family's X5 and it may be time.
Edit: Looked at the expert village video. Looks like that is an easy solution with a tool rented from Autozone. I don't know if it would work on our ball joint though since it has those "ears". How much of a press fit are they? Maybe if they aren't that tight, you could just hammer it out from the back.
