    Rear Suspension Rebuild: Need help with selecting tools

    Hello,

    I own a 99' 328i and its desperately in need of a rear suspension rebuild. I've heard (& seen) the nightmares of removing the old rear joints. I need to replace all joints/bushings and need help locating the proper tools to press out/in the joints. Please see the attached diagram. The red arrows point to all joints I plan to replace PLUS I'm going to do the differential bushing as well (well known for rusting in place). I've seen some DIY tools, but I'm inclined to buy the tools/kits necessary to perform the job. I know this rebuild isn't for the faint at heart. It's a real PITA from everything I've seen and read, but I'm up for the challange. Please let me know what tools/kit I need to press out/in the bushings pointed out in the diagram. I've seen a rear CAB kit on ebay (see pic). I'm curious if kit can also be used to tackle other joints?
