I believe autozone has a rental tool for it, i'd rather do it with a press, or just take it somewhere with a press if I were you.

If you are using S14 spindles, iirc I believe you can also pickup fresh control arms, with new bushings, and balljoints for a reasonable price, best option of all.

I'm going to be doing this in the near future, but I'm definitely just going to buy new ball joints and take them somewhere to be pressed in.
