just make sure you have a floor jack holding pressure on the lower control arm.....
if not, when you break the ball joint apart from the control arm that spring could come flyin out and take your head off !
In process!

Definitely. It would also be a good plan to either a) have a spring compressor already holding the spring in a compressed state, b) have a threaded rod run through the middle of the spring so it can't go anywhere, or c) have a chain run through the spring, again so it can't go anywhere.

You have compressed the spring before attempting this right?
