Re: Bottom ball joint
Has to be pressed out and the new one pressed in. Vast majority take the knuckle to a garage to have it done. The other option is to make a DIY press:

Re: Bottom ball joint
you will need at least 20 ton press and solid support for the arm. Ive crushed several of support tools before I made one out of hefty 5mm stainless steel.

Re: Bottom ball joint
With some heat from a gas blower, I was able to just stand on the knuckle and beat the ball joint out with a lump hammer. It's got a good target area to whack on just make sure you've removed the circlip thing
