I don't think you'll have the room ,you need to force upper joint out with a tool and you need to release pressure on lower A frame

The dealer's answer (if you are interested).......
The ball joint is pressed into the upper control arm and has a tapered stud for attachment to the steering knuckle. The ball joint stud is attached and locked into the steering knuckle using a special nut. The ball joint is a sealed-for-life type and requires no maintenance. If the ball joint is defective it will require replacement of the entire upper control arm.
Sorry.

can it not be done without removing the hub ?? dont think you can get hub off without removing the track control ball joint?do you have the right tools??
SOURCE: Upper and lower ball joint replacement
to remove the axles, remove brake caliper and disc, remove hub assembly, the center hub/axle nut and...(there are i think 3-4 bolts on the back side of the spindle to remove the hub), you may have to force the hub off the spindle with a hammer or air hammer... once the hub is out the axle should slide out of the front differential allowing access to the ball joint nuts for removal...

I suggest you take this to an auto mechanic for your brand of car. Don't attempt to do it yourself. If your car is rare, they will have to get a best fit for it.
Kind Regards
