You mean split it or remove it ?
They are pressed in, so you'll (well, at least I had to) remove the lower control arm then had a mate pressed them out. |

I made my own tool to remove it but easiest way is to remove arm and borrow a press.

I can't help you there, but I did just recently buy upper and lower ball joints for the whole front from Bayford Parts for $118 delivered and Pedders installed them for $187. Did the front hub bearings at the same time and the car is so smooth now.
