Re: 1989 jimmy 4x4 ball joints
The top ball joints are riveted to the control arm, so you will need to either drill the heads out, grind them off, or use a air-powered chisel. Grinding does the least damage to the arm since you can see how far to go then stop and punch the middle out with a centerpunch. A Haynes or Chilton's repair manual helps lay out the steps. If not, AutoZone.com has the nearly identical repair guides online, pics and everything. Unsure how the bottom ones are held in. Here is the AutoZone link:

Good luck!
