I'll say this. Ball joints are one of the things that I'm afraid to tell people how to do them. It's kind of a "if you have to ask, you shouldn't do it" situation. It's a pretty serious job that requires special tools and more importantly, special knowledge. If you do it wrong, there is a real possibility of the control arm coming apart and you will loose steering control.

No ball joints are pressed into the frame. They are installed in the lower and upper control arms. Typically they are pressed in, some GM cars had rivets used that you have to grind out to remove the ball joint.
