They are pressed in.
Go to a suspension shop.
The gay thing about the lower control arms is they tend to bend and curve, making it hard to press in a new balljoint and having it stay in place without tack welding it.

This probably won't work
They should be pressed out... with the right sized pipe around the outer.... not just press the ball out of the middle...... doh
