The jimmy 4x4's do not require a ball joint press, but you have trouble getting them out of the lower because of the control are being over the ball joint, suggestion would be to remove the castle nut and cotter pin from the upper, to drop the whole assembly. Be careful though, you don't want to damage your axle.
