upper ball joint?

The "cap" should come out with the joint. If I remember right, those are riveted in and have to be drilled/ground out. I believe the replacement will bolt in to original holes.
 
Is there a snap ring to take out first?
 
Look at the top of the arm. I think that joint will be riveted through the top.

I may be totally off, but I am thinking you have to DRILL THE RIVETS and take it out the top.

Just like an older 2wd Chevy
 
Couldn't see your pics...

You can use a flathead screwdriver to take off the lock ring. Try to get the sd underneath it and pop it out. If it is a snap ring then you might want to get some sr pliers.
