Ball joint nut size?
Im getting ready to change my ball joints on my 03 FX4 250 and was wondering what size sockets I need to change the Ball joints? I have been told 28mm for the top and 34 mm for the bottom? Someone also told me the bottom was a 32mm? I looked over at snap on and they dont even sell a 1/2" drive 28 mm! So where can I order them? Do I need impact sockets? Thanks!

For some reason 1 1/4 pops in to my head for the top one but I am not sure right off hand. If you have the new ball joints take the nut and get the right sockets. I dose not need to be impact socket. I used my breaker bar and snap on batt. gun to do the hole job. There should be a torque setting for the nuts too.
it is a easy job too...
