Ouch, sorry to hear that. I just got done doing my rounds at Oreilly's and Advance Auto Parts a few minutes ago. I can confirm that the large ball joint press kit that they have at Advance does not have anything that fits the weird size of this ball joint. I'm looking into fabricating something from some thick walled pipe. It's definitely not a common size that can be found at the hardware store though.
