W210 Ball Joint Replacement

Could someone tell me what I need to do this job? If special tools are needed, which ones and from where?

Wink

The ball joint on the W210 chassis is a simple bolt on. Only socket/wrench(s) are needed. SUPPORT the lower arm, loosen the nuts, hit the old ball joint with hammer, then remove the nuts & the ball joint will come out!
