I just rented these two kits from a local Autozone (as well as a spring compressor kit, for a total returnable fee of $290). I test fit the Moog joint inside the store and while none of the tubes were as perfect as I'd like, it should do the trick. I'm hoping to get to this tomorrow. I'll provide an update and some pics when I do.

I'll be very curious and it might be helpful to have a sticky of the tools that work in these cases.
My experience with the red box and autozone was it did not work. Oreilly's was the same. Fail.
So, now that I have been shown one that works, it's ordered and on the way. I'll get to it in a few weeks I guess. Now to try to cut the pilot bearing without huting anything else.

I bought what you suggested:
I won't have time to test it out for a bit, The transmission is taking me a little longer than I thought to finish, so I suspect it will be a couple of weeks before I attack now.
Also sidetracked as my daughters car has developed a problem, she lives a few hundred miles away, so I am going to go see her and fix the problem, so I have to backburner my Inifiniti for a little bit, like a week.

I rented this one and it worked out, I was able to replace both ball joints. One of the reviews even mentions a G35.
The cup was just barely too small and it pinched the base of the rubber a tad but no big deal. I believe this is the kit that's used in the video, post #12.
