Default ball joints on an EG

is it difficult to replace the ball joints of the steering linkage and wheel hub (the one that secures the LCA)?

I tore mine up with an air hammer separating them apart after the bmfh wouldnt work

I just left the castle nut on and took a big hammer to mine given the new ball joints come with castle nuts anyway

Were these OEM? I just bought replacements from Son's Acura/Honda and mine came with everything. I'l double check when I get home to be sure.
