2wd upper ball joint.... HELP

I just purchased a 95' and I need to replace the upper ball joints to pass inspection. I ordered the parts from the local parts place (moog problem solver is what they brought) I have been poking around on here trying to find a guide for replacing them. I keep finding threads that say the uppers should screw in and out, but the parts they sent me are press in style. I just pulled the left front wheel to check and it looks like they are press in....

Are they press in, or screw in and if they are screw in how to you thread them out and back in??

Thanks

DOn't hold me to it, but I'd say they're press in. I know mine sure appear to be.

Press in. Get a c clamp type press from harbor freight for 30 to 40 bucks. Makes the job easy. KD

Not 30 or 40 bucks. More like 10 or 12.
