if they are original you will most likely have to pop the rivets off the bottom of the old ones...best if you use air hammer...may have to remove from car....other than that..should be pretty simple

The rivets are best drilled out instead of hammering and chiseling. If you distort the lower control arm, the repair gets pretty expensive. Drill them out with the smallest drill bit possible the will remove the center of the rivit. You will be installing the new ball joints with nuts and bolts and you don't want the holes too big.
