To replace the driver's side lower A-arm, start by safely lifting the vehicle and removing the wheel. Next, disconnect the ball joint and any other attached components, such as sway bar links or brake lines. Remove the bolts securing the A-arm to the frame and the spindle, then take out the old A-arm. Install the new A-arm by reversing the removal process, ensuring all bolts are torqued to the manufacturer's specifications before reattaching the wheel and lowering the vehicle.

There is a four way head bolt on this arm. It will take a Phillips head screwdriver to loosen this. Once that is done then the arm will detach.

replace a control arm 99 tarus
Currently it seems like you have no choice but to replace the complete arm, that is all I can find available.
If you mean the lower suspension arm (wishbone) ball joint, it is fixed into the arm. This means you need to replace the whole lower arm.
Towards your side
As far as I know in Nissan and Toyota trucks the ball joints are not compressible (can't be taken out) unfortunately the whole arm needs replaced the lower drivers side is about $362 for the part sans labor.
The bones of the lower arm are the radius and ulna. The radius is on the "thumb" side, and the ulna is on the "pinkie" side.
