Hi Paul,
I'm a little late to this subject, but I have the 3/4" drive ball joint socket & the upper ball joint stud remover. You are welcome to use when you are ready. For your reference, both are available from "The Car Shop"
The ball joint stud remover is their part # 23481. My socket was made by Mac tools and they don't even list it any more but the car shop has it too.
Just let me know if you want to use mine......

I took my 63 to the shop today for a front end alignment. I had turned up the torsion bars for more ground clearance. Well they told me I need new ball joints upper and lower and new tie rod ends, plus a radius arm bushing (?). They estimated the job at $1200. I'm thinking I can do most of the work myself and save $$$$. I've priced the parts on Rock Auto and they are probably less than $200. Any pitfalls in doing this work?
