Drill a 1/4" deep hole in the center of each rivet with a 1/8" diameter drill bit. This is a pilot hole. With a 1/2" drill bit, drill into the pilot hole and "drill away the rivet heads". A cold chisel may be handy too, and a big hammer. You may need several 1/8" drill bits, they are easy to break. Do not drill past the control arm. Use the chisel at that point. Once the head is gone, punch out the rivets. Metal is best cut SLOWLY with drills... use a variable speed drill.

How do your remove the lamp housing from a 2002 silverado driving lights? I can remove the upper head light housing but I can't get the driving light housing out.
Just learned this the hard way today after trying to do it myself. The ball joint will not come out until you remove the brake caliper and rotor. Too time consuming for a do it yourselfer in my opinion...I had the shop down the street replace the ball joint for 1.1 hours labor (about $80).
To replace the upper ball joint on a 1992 Acura Vigor, start by lifting the vehicle and removing the front wheel for access. Disconnect the upper control arm from the steering knuckle and any associated components, then remove the ball joint retaining nut. Use a ball joint separator or a suitable tool to detach the ball joint from the control arm, and replace it with a new one, ensuring proper alignment. Reassemble all components, torque the fasteners to the manufacturer's specifications, and reinstall the wheel.
