So my ball joints need to replaced, and I tried to get a tool but I can't find the correct size adapter cup. Even the big 4wd kit from harbor freight doesn't have a big enough cup for the ball joints. I tried about 3 places to find the right cup, I'd like to avoid paying Ford dealer to do the work. They want over 1000$ anyone know the actual size or ball joint tool I need?

The 4wd set at HF has the sizes you need. I have used the set previously for this exact application.

The following document includes the OTC part numbers required.

Read it. Understand it. Deviating from the instructions will only result in weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Pay special attention the torque procedure and values. This is were most people doom themselves. Make sure the caster/camber shim can move vertically in its socket while you tighten the lower BJ nut to the final value or a false value will be attained.
