If you're assembling a Roadster or a Coupe (and possibly a Hot Rod) installing the upper ball joints can be a pain. I have the ball joint socket that makes installing the ball joints super easy. It was loaned to me by NukeMMC and made the job a snap. It uses 1/2 drive. If you need it, PM me your address and I'll ship it to you. The goal is to pass this tool around for everyone to use and benefit from.

Another tip is to use a wire wheel and remove the coating on the ball joints prior to installing them.
