Rear axle ball-joint (swing arm bushing) tool

[kbsilver]

Just tackled a full rear suspension rebuild on our E39 540iT. After reading up on the invaluable information available on the various news boards, decided the only way to successfully remove and install the rear ball joints was using a dedicated tool. So I bought one. Not a real BMW tool but an high quality imitation. Without a dedicated tool many have struggled hours if not days to remove and install the ball-joint. With this tool it really took one minute to remove, one minute to install the ball joint.

Is available for loan upon request (as long as I still have it). Will definitely fit an E39, box indicates will work on a E38, E39, E60, E65 and E66.
