Yeah I understand that. What I'm wondering is, do I need a ball joint removal tool to pop the ball joint out of the upright? Put another way, will the ball joint end of the comp. rod pop out with some hammering, or will I need a special tool?
No special tools needed. A good knock from the top of the ball joint threads - with the nut on flush with the ball joint stud - will normally be enough to get it loose.

I normally flip the castle nut over and thread it flush with the top of the bolt and give a few hits with a hammer. Usually good enough and doesn't booger up the threads if you actually wanted to reuse the ball joint. If that's not enough, and you're replacing them anyway, one of those fork shaped tools work well to separate them.
Repainted my grille before a show I went to. Looks much better now, but it is still going to chip up like it always does, so I am EVENTUALLY going to wrap it. Also got that fresh coat of ceramic pro for the show. She looking good. Also getting some ABS plastic for front and side splitters.
