Don't know about your car, but on my 1985 300D it is tricky to replace. Yours looks similar. There are several posts w/ photos. You must remove the spindle to work on the bench. Getting the old out isn't too hard (beat w/ large hammer). You need a C-clamp ball joint press to install the new one, and some patience.

I pretty much have to buy the c clamp ball joint press that is offered in a kit correct?

Don't forget to grease the screw and threads on the spring compressor.

A generic ball joint press won't do you any favors. If you are interested in borrowing the correct tool, PM me for more info.
