Bill, it simply presses in. First, remove the fragile rubber boot. Then use 
an 'appropriate' sized piece of water pipe (or pipe fitting) over the stud and 
gainst the ball joint body and tap or press it out. Most move uncomfortably 
easy for their function..... Note when putting it back in that there's a 
specific direction- the slot on the upper balljoint body should align with the rear 
upright so the slot in the top allows the stud & a-arm to move without 
interference.   Good luck- J Deryke
