I got a 1/2 in to 3/4 adapter at Sears. Works great with my
commercial impact gun and Miller large ball joint socket. As
previously mentioned, it's easier to leave the control arm on the
car when removing/installing the ball joints.

3/4 inch drive which a lot of hobbiest don't have a 3/4 inch
socket set.

Yup. An
alternative, especially if the special ball joint socket is
not available to someone, is to take the control arms and new
ball joints to a spring and suspension shop. That shop will
take off and put in the new ball joints for not much money.
Thanks,
