you need a good ball joint separator. if you use a pickle fork, you will destroy the boot. so, if you are going to reuse the joint, you will have to use the screw in type. once you separate the ball joint, then it bolts to the control arm with 3 bolts.
first, pull the wheel. to be safe, unbolt the brackets that hold the brake hose, and remove the abs sensor and tie it up. remove the brake caliper, and tie up out of the way. disconnect the sway bar link. remove brake rotor for clearance. i always break loose the bolts on the bottom of the ball joint before i disconnect the ball joint
