Here is the tool in action.

It also includes the tools to do RTAB. I also used it to change out FCAB.

Forgot the brand, think it's Koch. It's not in my possesion.

It's a high quality tool that makes replacing parts a breeze.

Bumping an old thread here but the upper and lower ball joints on the rear trailing arm are exactly the same sizes on our E46 M3's? I bought both of them from Tischer and they are exactly the same part number and all. Just wanted to confirm.....

They are the same, yes.

I ended up buying a ball joint tool if you'd like to rent it
