Default 94 2wd balljoints

My buddies truck needs new balljoints. He has a 94 SLT 2wd. I've replaced the balljoints on my 2nd gen dak, but his are different. They look to be pressed in. What tools will we need to replace both the upper and lower? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

The upper control arms are screwed in with a special size socket. Check the FAQ2 here for a link to buy one. The lower ball joints are pressed in, you can rent a tool to press them in and out at most auto parts stores which do free rent a tools.
