no there is no special tool needed ,just release stab bar link first ,than remove 18mm nut from balljoint hit wiith hammer ,now move balljoint away from hub ,now take a t55 socket with airgun & remove bolt from rear swing arm section after that u will need two 15mm wrenchs to pull nut & bolt from subframe section ,& that is about it ,good luck.
