Upper Ball Joint R/r

[dcmargush]

1999 Silverado 2500 4x4 6.0L

 

I need to replace the upper ball joint on my passenger side. Is the procedure the same as if it was 2wd version.

 

Remove wheel, remove brake lines from upper control arm, loosen ball joint nut, use pickle fork to remove ball joint from spindle, remove upper control arm?????

 

I assume the ball joint is pressed into the upper control arm, is that correct? How is it removed from the Control Arm, pressed out??

 

 

Thanks

Im not familiar with the 4X4 but on the 2wd I had to grind out 4 rivets to remove mine.
