Or if you know someone with a press would be cool and cheaper.

Here is my version of this tool. I made with a $5 pipe from the remnant pile from my local steel yard. It measures 60.8mm outer diameter and 49.8mm inner diameter. With a $3 dollar Harbor Freight cut off blade, I took off the side to make it fit the knuckle. Works great. With my 20 ton press, it drives the new ball joint down in less than 1 minute. I've done 6 ball joints in the past few years with this $8 dollar tool.
