Tip on bottom ball joint fitting. Cut/grind/remove old unit rivets from ball joint tang side, digging well in to tang,rather than trying to drill out rivets. Drive in a wedge or old screwdriver to separate joint. Clean joint seating area to bare metal. Treat with preservative to prevent ingress of rust. Fit ball joint, bolt heads down & torque to 40Nm. Do not be tempted to over tighten.
Hope this helps.
