this socket is for the disc brake - Ball Joint ops:

guess, i gotta look for the smaller- DRUM brake socket

You must have bought the 73 up socket because the 70 A-body uses the same ball joint for drums and discs.

Mancini Racing has them also

If this is the 1 59/64"/1.9219" size I can get you hooked up with a SnapOn ball joint socket for just under $34.00 shipped.

you will also need a 3/4" adapter, 1/2" or 3/4" breaker bar, lots of wd-40 and a 3' pipe, maybe even a torch for heat.

As Bob said, a 3 ft cheater pipe will be needed. I used our shop's 3/4 air impact and popped them right out of my son's Dart. When I did my Coronet, I thought I was going to pull the car off of the jack stands before they came loose.

If you are also replacing the upper arm bushings you can clamp the ball joint in a vise and screw the upper arm off of it. Penetrant like PB Blaster is still required. You dont want to ruin the threads in the upper arms no matter how you go about the ball joint R&R.

That's the way I like them, get in and drive. No trailer queen in my garage.
