To be honest it is a bit of a job ,if they are original they are rivited in and you have to grind the rivits off and knock them out .If  they have been replaced they are bolted in and have to be knocked out .A ball joint seperator should be used,just go and have it done ,you will find it is a hard job if you dont know what you are doing .

from memory the upper are easy to replace, on my lower ones the ball joint plate was spot welded on as well, so clean them well to see the spot welds, which you will have to drill out. If I did it again i would buy complete units.
