You can work around the ball joint, by leaving it attached to the hub. Undo the two bolts that hold the ball joint and the tie bar on, and the strut will come away. Then you can undo the bottom arm and replace. Things may be a bit tight going back together though.

replace the balljoints at the same time, only £7 each. buy new arms with the bushes alreay in as well, makes things so much easier.
