Lower Balljoints Installation

[BK360GT]

I have a 2001 Ford Expedtion 4x4 and I need to replace both lower balljoints. I was wondering if the balljoints are replacable or do I have to replace the entire control arm with the balljoint installed. If anyone have done this before I would greatly appreciate the help.

Thanks

Moog's K8695T looks like the part number you need. No mentions are made about the lower ball joint being non-replaceable, but the upper ball joints are non-replaceable.

Most auto parts stores will loan you a ball joint press (most will also require a deposit). You may also consider removing the lower control arm and having a machine shop or welding shop press out the old joint. While I've never had a shop press it out, I can't imagine they would charge much for this service.

A can of WD40, elecrtic/pnuematic impact, pickle forks, and a service manual would also be very handy.
