My original question was if a 20 ton press would be strong enough to get the old ball joint out
yes, but a small sledge hammer will do the same thing.
The next question I am asking (not to the forum but to the toolmaker) is if that 20 ton press will be strong enough to push the new joint in using their tool
yes again BUT it has to do it at the proper angle.
About a year ago, while waiting for the proper MB tool to come in, I took it to an independent shop that pressed both of them in for $20.
I'd go ahead with the plans to get the 20 ton press though
