How do i change the factory lower ball joint off of my 2000 Bravada?

i am replacing the lower ball joint (factory) off my 2000 Oldsmobile Bravada... but i come to find out that this just doesn't screw out... i grinded down the nuts on top so that i can just hammer it out from the sides, but that hasn't worked... i'm pretty sure it's stuck or there is some kind of gasket with adhesive compound holding it up there... should i put a torch to it to get it out or what should i do???

they r rivet in. what u need to do is use a chisel and knock off the head and drill them out. the new ball joint has screws to replace the rivets

You need special tools to make this happen. The joint is pressed in, which is why you can't remove it.

Have a repair shop do it.
