As the owner of a 2nd gen Tundra, I find this very interesting. So... they're simply pressed in?

Yup... There is a wire spring retainer on the boot.. Pull it off. Slip the boot off. Then there is a snap ring you have to remove. then it just presses up and the MOOG presses down.
Here is a pro tip. Every instruction i found said to separate the ball joint from the knuckle when doing the front suspension. Below the hub are two bolts that if removed releases the lower control arm. Pull those instead of fucking with the ball joint. Using a pickle fork to separate the ball joint caused me to rip that boot and got shit in the ball.
Follow these guys advice. Its opposite of what every one else says and i should have listened.

But if you do need to do them or just want to i did both Upper Ball joints by my self in 2 hours with minimal fuss.
