simple answer is NO but that will depend on how mechanical you are....

 

not really that hard a job for someone with the tools, however the ball joint is in tight and will require some force to get it out..

 

let the search option be your friend..

the steering ball joint isnt that hard to get off the hub

 

removing it from the wishbone there is a huge circlip around it on the top get that off and it should Tap out

but with loads of rust/rod/corrosion it will be very hard ..

i have some with used good ones with arm still attached ?

As Mark explained removing the lower arm is the best way to access the ball joint, just remember to swap over the cone shape top seat.

you didnt need to split the trackrod end to remove front control arm .

I just replaced mine and removing the lower control arm wasn't hard, I even removed it with the wheel still on, removing the ball joint was the hardest I had to use a press to remove it and install the new one, if you don't have access to a hydraulic press just buy some used lower control arms if that is an option
