you need to press then out. you can use a C-Clamp depending on how stuck it is in there. Other wise just take it to any shop and have them press it out. 20-30 bucks

actually some of thier stuff is awesome, but you wont need a press to get your ball joint out, it should have a snap ring clip in it, once thats out, just beat it out with a hammer.

Yeah, Ingalls is good stuff. I've never used their front kit, but all I've heard is mostly good reviews- plus I think you can adjust caster with it too.
