Trying to do a super basic job. A pair of ball joints on Crystal's truck. But now I need a special $120 tool ( that only fits this particular model) to reinstall the seal because the factory couldn't machine a stop-lip in the steering knuckle?

Screw that! I'll measure off the other side and make my own. Though I really don't have the time for this!

This is nothing but a way to rob professional mechanics, put the screws to diy'ers and drive up costs. Specialized, model-specific tooling for basic maintenance items should fall under monopoly laws IMO. Or maybe I'm just a little revved up. Anyway... reach over
