It's not particularly fun. The easiest way is to remove the lower control arm so you can work on it easier. You'll need to remove the cotter key and nut on the ball joint. Separate the ball joint from the spindle. Remove the control arm bushing nuts and bolts, along with the end link. The rivets holding the ball joint in will have to be drilled out. The new joint comes with bolts and nuts instead of rivets. Install is reverse of removal. Use caution, though it won't go anywhere, the spindle will pop out at you due to coil spring pressure when you separate the ball joint from the spindle.
