Many thanks in advance

Buy 1 they are not a lot of money, less than postage for a borrowed 1.
Or the 2 hammer trickdon’t ask

Yeah it's an MOT fail and a pig of a job apparently.

You can buy similar 'universal' tools off the bay for £40 ish but I've no idea how good they would be.
Done similar balljoints on my Sprinter but took the wishbone off & used my press. MB use a hydraulic version of the one in the clip to do them on the vehicle but their price to do one was a lot more than the cost of the press & a pair of new joints!
