FWIW Advance Auto has a nice suspension service loaner tool that should come with everything you need. I'm sure Autozone has a similar kit but I've never used it.
The ball joint set that all of the chain stores rent is the press. You'll need that too, but the socket wasn't available to rent anywhere. This guy has them for $24.99 if you use ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEWAX%3AIT
Hope this helps,
