Front ball joint removal tool recommendations?
I am doing them myself. I heard they were not bad but I would rather not bang one them.
Can anyone please recommend a reasonably priced tool that they like to use for this procedure?

I bought this one and it did the job. I wouldn't say it's the greatest tool, but it worked.
I know a few MB mechanics who are known to just use a hammer to pop out the ball joints.

Looks a lot like the one I just bought to try out:

I hoping this does the trick.
I don't want to hit on the suspension and stress the bushings which are already old- but still look good.
