Check out the U shaped jaws on my tool compared with Jake 's. The wider jaws allow the tool to get around the LCA ball joint better. Unground works too (I was able to do one side with the stock tool but it kept slipping off the other side) and you had good success too. If I had a grinding tool I would have done mine too.

Here's my harbor freight balljoint tool, with inside u-shaped edge ground out to fit around the 986 balljoint's 26mm diameter. (Still works on 986 tie rod ends, too!) I have very little doubt that this tool will also last my lifetime.
