you might want to start by telling us what you're having problems with.
To remove the balljoint, unbolt the trailing arm (2 14mm bolts) and 2 support bolts holding the balljoing in to the control arm
unbolt 2 bolts holding the steering knuckle to the strut.
separate strut and steering knuckle
remove cotter pin from balljoint nut, unbolt nut, and use a pickle fork or a clamp to separate the balljoint from the steering knuckle.
