Help with Ball Joint Replacement

So I need to replace my left front lower ball joint, but it seems like it can't be pressed out of the control arm like a normal ball joint, so do I need to replace the whole lower control arm? And I'm assuming I'll need yet ANOTHER alignment too right?

The lower arm and ball joint gets replaced as a whole piece. Pic's in this thread.

Get lifetime alignment at Firestone or Breakcheck place. Cheapest in the long run of you're keeping the car for life. Or you mod suspension a lot.

I'm lowered on SPC camber arms all around so I don't really trust those places. The one by me doesn't have a Hunter machine, which is the only one I want to be used for the alignment.
