Ball joints press in and out with a special tool that looks like a very large c-clamp. Don't know if parts stores rent them or not. Bushings are always a huge pain. If I had to do ball joints and bushings, I might start looking for a complete control arm.

That C clamp looking thing for pressing out the old ball joints is not so great for me, I broke one working on mine. It is worth the time & knuckle skin saved just to find the a arm with the ball joint & bushings already pre-assembled online like ebay or rock auto to save some coin.
