Yes but it spins in the ball joint. Only need to loosen the jam nut as @Ducati1098 said
Gotcha now...for one reason or another I was schooled not to rotate the inner ball joint...OP I stand corrected!

Do you know if I'll be turning both the same direction or if it will be opposing? Meaning push the wrench down on one side and up on the other (opposing) or both down or up?
They’ll be opposite. We used a paint pen to mark one spot in case we needed to count turns but I’d imagine you can just use the wrench if you’re doing a small amount each time.

Thanks, I was thinking about marking them, then also use a digital angle finder and place it on the wrench so I can move it maybe one or two degrees at a time on both sides then tighten and test.

There's a chance you get it right and fix it, there's a chance you trash your tires. Up to you, personally I would call them let them know the problem and tell them that the next time it's convenient for me to bring it there I will.
