Ball Joint Removal

[tomfg]

Trying to remove the ball joints on my 64 Chevy 1/2 ton. Have new ones coming soon. My question is, does the lower "pressed in" ball joint press out the "top" or "bottom" of the A-arm?
Of course I don't have a press, so I planned on using blocks, torch, and a big hammer. Any tips or suggestions to make the job go easier? Thanks for your help!

it comes out the bottom.when you see it it will be ovious.

Thanks again Zenish. Got the ball joints out. Used a big old puller, a piece of pipe, and a steel plate to press out the lower joints. Worked good. Used a a drill, hammer and chisel on the upper ball joint rivets..... came out pretty good. Thanks, Tom
