Just remove loosen the nut attaching to the spindle (but don't remove the nut, only loosen about half way through the threads of the nut) then hammer the spindle to break the ball joint free. Then 3 nuts/bolts holding the lower ball joint to the control arm and you are home free. What will you do about new lower control arm bump stops?

The upper ones you have to grind the rivet heads off.
