This probably has been posted before but amateurs should buy a ball joint separator/installer tool. HF is fine.

Besides it name, it removes suspension pins and bushings, installs new bushings, and removes and installs u-joints. Yes, you may need a different guide such as a socket or bolt depending on diameters. I have used it on the leaf springs of the 46, and 59. A portable press.

It can be clamped in a vise and used for some task. Use it with an impact and things are even easier.
