I have a 2001 Dodge Dakota 4x4, and my lower driver's side ball joint is shot. The parts house offered an aftermarket replacement ball join that I purchased. I was going to do both sides at the same time to avoid problems down the road. However, once I got to the ball joint and it looks like it's not replaceable? Is this true and I need to replace the entire control arm? or is it indeed replaceable and I'm just not trying hard enough? (I already bent one press trying to remove it.) There are no rivets or snaps rings either. Has anone worked on one of these?
 
The upper ball joint recall may cover it. I'd check just for the heck of it.
