Just trying to gather the sockets required to remove the upper and lower ball joint nuts on e & f series trucks... If someone knows the socket sizes, would grately appreciate it as I will head to the store and purchase them... Also any tips and tricks/ press adapters ect I'm all ears thanks for the help

All I can add, is I have done ball joints where the old ones use one socket size, and new ones are different depending what brand you're installing and what may ha e been in there before. Find yourself a decent socket set that goes up to 1-1/2" and 36mm and you should be covered for whatever you come across. I actually go up to 2" in socket sizes by having a harbor freight 3/4" Dr set that I have yet to break after 10 years. Also have a few odd sockets from 2-1/8 to near 5" for odd stuff I've done over the years.
