For the top http://www.hotgemini.com/cgi-bin/workshop2.cgi?action=rt&tip_id=39. For the bottom ones, pop them the same way as this, then Id recommend removing the lower control arm and bashing the ball joints out (doesnt matter how you do this you are going to throw them out), then to put the new ones in take them to a suspension place and get them pushed in. I have tryed doing them at home and ruined one, it is much harder than you think.

yeah top ones are easy i had trouble with my lower i was gonna go get them pressed but i took my lower control arm off and found a nice peice of pipe laying around the house which fitted the balljoint seat perfectly and then just hit the pipe with a gympie till the ball joint was properly in.would be better off gettin them pressed but give it a go anyway.
cheers
