A branded kit would probably cost hundreds so any cheap chinese copy that has the angled 4wd adapter would do the job. Get it good and tight then smack the end of the knuckle with a BFH. Try with just a normal ratchet to get it tight and if it won't break free move on to a strong arm. If they've been in for a long time the first movement will come with almighty bang. After that it will get easier.

Anything like this will do...

Here's a Lisle branded one...
