that would work but why would you swap out from one car to another just buy grease and replacements

I use the ball joint remover that is shaped like a "U" and has a bolt through the middle. When using this tool, you have to make sure that the ball joint is vertical or as straight as possible and the bolt on the tool is straight on top of the ball joint volt. It can sometimes shift a bit off from center point and come at an angle and bend your ball joint bolts.
The fork style ball joint separator can help as well. However, this tool will rip your ball joint boot.
the universal pullers with hooks also can do the job. However, these are a lot harder to use because the hooks tend to slip a lot and/or the tool likes to move or shift most of the time.
