I got mine on Amazon.ca

https://www.amazon.ca/Powerbuilt-Alltrade-648749-Specialty-Socket/dp/B0028QGT8Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1461527028&sr=8-1&keywords=Powerbuilt+Alltrade+648749+Kit+32+Specialty+Ball+Joint+Socket+Tool+Set

Mind you it was only $37.59 Cdn when I bought mine in the fall, now it's 60+ bucks.

That was the first one I looked at... but with postage to Canada that's $110 CDN. Why I bought the set of two for $38Cdn in the Fall, even now that it's at $62 with free shipping it's a good deal!

..or if you get up this way Brad you could borrow mine.

Rental yard? Or some auto supplies that rent tools have them.

I went to OReilly's, Autozone and Napa in my town and none of them had one for a loaner or for sale so I bought mine on amazone.com for $30.

ordered one off amazon 39 dollars shipping and exchange 80 bucks canadain still cheaper than paying someone to do it

set of two

Canadian Tire has a loan a tool program and it's free. That's where I got one to take mine off. Check them for other tools you may need.

borrowed one from a buddy still no word from amazon. ball joints changed so I guess if I get one it will be shiny new when I put it away

Same stores here didn't have one either but I found one at Advance Auto in their loaner kit. Didn't want to take it back so I ended up buying one from a independent part store for $28+tax.

that socket made that job a breeze! changed two uppers in an hour and I am no mechanic!! I would tell anyone doing ball joints not to try without it. right tool makes any job easier thanks to everyone who steered me in right direction

Just thought I would throw this out there as well. Got mine a few years back $47 US to Canada, that's including shipping which was $7.50.

I agree that without the right tool for this the job will easily become a frustrating mess.
What I have done when I didn't know any better was use a large pipe wrench.
