Geo Ball Joint

Q. I have a 1991 Geo Storm 1.6 liter with a manual transmission. I need to replace my lower ball joint assembly on my drivers side, and I am wondering how I can get it off. I have the two bolts off of the a-arm, and the bolt to the axle mount off, but I can not figure out how to get the part that rotates off.

Thank you,
JJ

A. If I remember correctly, the lower ball joint is part of the lower control arm and you need to replace the whole arm to replace the lower ball joint.
