Gotta pull it. Not a big deal if you gots 1\2 impact and sockets.

The knuckle is pretty easy to get out. Then you can mount it into a vise and have at it with your press. Be careful getting the joint in and out. The aluminium knuckle can damage easy if you get the joint cocked while pressing the joint in. Use only Moog or Ford ball joints unless you want to do it again later. The other brands have inferior dust boots.
