Ball Joint Separator
I found this on eBay, for doing the ball joint replacement on my 2000 S500 up front, but I'm not sure if its the right size. I already purchased the installer/remover which specifically states W220. However this tool just says Mercedes Benz 20mm, and the seller had no clue. Any advise? Thanks!

The only tools you have to have to replace the lower ball joints on a W220 is a big hammer, ball joint fork and a big hydraulic press. Remove the entire stub axle and press it out. Unless you are doing alot of ball joints (workshop) it's not worth the money to buy the tool. BTW, that tool is only for separating the ball joints, not for replacing.

I already have the tool to install/remove. The separator tool allows to separate out the ball joint easy while still in the car as I am not planning to remove the stub axle. Thanks
