Sorry, but couldn't find this on a search and want to buy a single socket big enough this. I had to use a crescent wrench to take it off and want to be able to torque it properly. This is not for the preload, but for the nut that gets pinned. I meant to bring the nutt to work with em today, but forgot it. Thanks!

The old one I pulled off was 1-3/8", I believe.
The new ball joints I got came with 1-1/8" nuts for both top and bottom.
