I am replacing parts on my 78 300 D suspension.<p>The MBZ books shows a special tool to insert ball joint (supporting joint) - Can this be done w/ o the special tool?<p>Also any alternative for the special tool when replacing he bushing on for the lower control arm to crimp the metal bushing inside?

[:D]my dad and i replaced my whole front suspension with no real special tools(unless you consider simple pullers and such special-we do have front end tools.)the ball joints needed to be cut out, then pressed in. everything else was easy and straight forward.-jake
