Actually getting them out is a big PITA, worse then trying to get new ones in. Using the ball joint remover from Autozone doesn't work because the control arm surface is at a funky angle so the tool doesn't want to stay in place. The BFH solution is a bad idea because you can bend the control arm.
I finally ended up taking them to work and used a hydraulic press to press the old ones out and the new ones in. I'd recommend that you find someone with a press and ask them to do this for you. Maybe buy them a case a beer as payment...
