I'd get a ball joint press from your local auto parts supplier. Most of the big national chains will "sell" you the tool with the expectation you will return it. The nice thing about them is they are often aluminum and you can bring the tool to the work instead of bringing a big heavy drive to a stationary press.The sizes as he said, are both sides of 1".
