(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) You don't need the special tool.
But I use it because it's fast and easier than any other method listed here. A little PB Blaster and that special tool with an impact wrench works great for removal. When using it to torque the nut back on get some help and have an extra pair of hands apply pressure up towards the ball joint and it also works fine.
