Replaced my ball joints and lower control arms yesterday with Turner Motorsport adjustable ones. I didn't have the BMW tool to remove the ball joint so I tried to make a few different things that didn't work and broke. Reason for the change was because a tow truck person strapped the hooks around the control arms instead of the tow hook like I put on for her.
A sample of what the tools I made look like. Used sockets instead.

That totally didn't work and I spent a about 4-5 hours on it till my buddy said he just hammered it out.

So that's pretty much what I did. Had a friend stopped by to give me a hand and it was done in a matter of two hours. Should've had someone there in the first place to give me a hand it would've been so much easier.

Just use a 4 pound hammer and a socket.
Not for a alignment and I'm almost all set!
