You will need to get the old one pressed out / new one pressed in.

Since you got your answer and still bumped the post, here's what I think.

Re: lower ball joint problem (5w20)
you guys are dumbasses lol.
You can get the balljoint press tool from autozone. You should be able to buy a new balljoint too at an auto store but I could be wrong I never bought a balljoint before

depending on what year your car is ( which you didnt state ) the ball joint is held in place by a big c clip. You can remove the clip and rent a ball joint presser from you local auto parts store(most) and press it out yourself and install new ones in like minutes.

i actually have to replace my balljoint too. the nut popped off while driving and jammed the wheel into the fender well. tried lifting it onto a flatbed truck at first...the wheel kept sliding out. looked REAL painful. anyway, got it home, checked the damage. looks like all i have to replace is the axle and balljoint & nut. the axle joint broke at the transmission end.
i have a 92 civic si. how hard to remove/install the balljoint? do i need the tool, or can i just pop it off? (it's already separated from the lower arm. i just need to get the joint out.)
