also when putting the ball joint back in try clean the part where it is going to go into with some fine / medium grit sand paper to remove all foreign materials and rust will me it a hell of a lot easier
and maybe a tiny whisker of WD40 etc to help it slip in and as above the tension of doing the nut back up pulls it up into its "slot" well hole
to pop the lower ball joint you can just put a jack underneath the lower control arm and jack up the brake a few inches, then find a socket extension/breaker bar/anything solid to wedge between the control arm and where the ball joint is mounted. then just drop the jack and POP! it's undone.
completely painless.
like so:
unless this is about REMOVING the actual ball joint??

What he said that is the EASIEST way by far to spread them its like job done in 30 seconds i loved that move have used it a dozen times just sometimes you need to do it about 3-4 times
But then to remove it you may need to take the arm out for a press or there may be some type of small press you could use , or if your strong a big hammer and lots of muscle
But i believe this is about the removal and install
