I missed this thread, my apologies for jumping in late.

Most GM cars in the mid to late 80's, especially the smaller cars, had
the lower ball joints rivited to the control arm, therefore you have to
drill off the rivits, bang the ball joint off, then bolt on the new
one.  Usually the ball joint kits come with the appropriate bolts.
