Backinblack is correct, I haven't done a 'rose' joint on an L322 but I've done similar on some mercs, the reason it's called a rose is because it's a bush within a bush, for extra articulation to compensate for anti-dive/squat and a modicum of active toe.
Alas easier to fit than remove, BIB's kit are the tools you need, but can be done with with off-cuts of tubular steel, threaded rod and the longer (25mm) nuts.
'Rose bushes' I believe are a brand of 'all-metal' spherical rod end/bearings like wot you put on race/rally cars, they are much strongerer than a standard item.

Some of the set-ups I've used on my wee 12 ton press is comical, old bearing shells, long sockets, little sockets in an ever decreasing diameter...sometimes the don't like the slop and fire out with 'cloth touching' noise and force!I've done them on the XJR.using a press and sockets and bits from my P 38 suspension pin kit.

Ouch... yes some rubber joints can contain oil, sometimes called hydro bushes, much safer to drill out as much rubber as you can and hacksaw through the outer metal shell portion, bit arduous but perfectly safe as the joint usually fall out then.My mates son lost a part of his thumb heated up a wishbone was pressing the joint out when the heat and grease resulted in the joint exploding.shrapenel flew across the garage,his thumb was the only casualty amazingly.

I told him to wipe his legs and report sick in the morning.

He was a bit twitchy bummed when I was pressing the bearing out of the 38's carrier,it had been rumbling for a while and got hot.when the pressure got to over 40 ton he scarpered.At 44 it moved and you would have thought a bomb had dropped.
