The 4-prong socket Longhair mentioned that facilitates removal of the upper ball joint's tapered sleeve is a "Dana 44 ball joint socket"; NAPA NCP 278-2030. ~$17.
The upper tapered sleeve must be replaced with any installation of new ball joints since the sleeve experiences wear. Mate new sleeve with new ball joint. New upper ball joints come with new taper sleeves.
