Not a real bad job to do.
But you can borrow or rent a ball joint press which is a large "C" clamp to remove and press in a ball joint.

> Almost time to get the vair out of storage which brings me to an issue left over from last year.? In greasing the ball joints, the lower right joint separated at the bottom. (Hard to describe) It didn't seem to effect handling so I chose to keep an eye on it and ignore it. I'd like to replace it this year but not sure what's involved. I know it's pressed it so can it be replaced with the arm on the car or is removal of the arm the only way..? AND what steps are necessary in either case?
