Yep, 1 59/64 I bought a Snap On one, same as this one here http://www.ebay.com/itm/Snap-On-3-4-Drive-Ball-Joint-Socket-S9365B-... Except mine is chromed , the part number for the chrome Snap On one differs in having an " A " at the end of the number instead of the " B " for the one above on ebay, numbers are the same otherwise. Assuming the the " B " stands for a black socket and " A " for a chromed one. I'm told by other members here to not waste money buying the cheaper ones as they'll round off the drive edges on the ball joint as you remove/re-fit. Hope that helps.......... .............. | ||

Expert 5K+ Posts: 8444 Location: Perth Australia | Yep Carl Dont get a cheap one or it will either break or round off the edges and those ball joints are in real hard Oh, you will need a good 3/4 drive bar as well (not sure how a ratchet would go) | ||

Expert Posts: 2905 Location: little rock, AR | A good pipe wrench will turn them out but the socket will be needed to replace them . I got a black strap-on off of ebay last week. I haven't received it yet. I will post pics when I do. | ||
