Not so easy.
This is pressed into the lower control arm.
So :
- Jack and support car
- Remove lower ball joint to upright nut.
- Separate ball joint from upright. Usually with a hammer and suspension fork.
- In some cases there is a spot weld that needs to be ground off in place of the snap ring.
- Remove the snap ring that retains the joint into the lower control arm.
- Use your portable ball joint and suspension press to remove and install the replacement joint.
- Assembly is reverse of disassembly.

How do you remove the lower ball joint on a 1989 Honda Civic?
I recently removed the lower ball joint from a 91 Civic, hopefully it is the same as yours. You need a fairly large double jaw gear puller. Loosen the castle nut, but do not remove it. Place the jaws of the gear puller under the boot of the ball joint (be careful not to damage the boot). Then place the screw part of the puller on the end of the ball joint bolt and tighten the puller as tight as you possible can. Then use a blunt punch and hammer to hit on the lower arm where the bolt goes through it, it requires quite a vibration to jar the ball joint loose. Good luck.
