Need a press...

Rotating the tires on Grand Caravan, greasing the lower ball joints and one of them has a hole in the boot. Between this forum and OWWM I'm running out of space in the garage. I'll need a press to replace them. How big do I need: 6, 12 or 20 ton? I'm assuming the HF (or CL) will do everything I need it to do.
Thanks,
Ray

Ahhhh...thanks.
If I'm replacing ball joint should I replace both? At this point, with 130K on the van should I replace the control arm bushings?
thanks,

Yep, the other one has just as many miles.

Depending on the model year of van, you might have to replace the entire lower control arm.
