Your best bet is a grinder.

The new ball joint should come with nuts and bolts to bolt in place if the rivets. Use THREAD LOCKER on them.
Have you done this before on Lumina? I think the location is pretty tricky. The space is too stricted for grinder.
Of cuz the new one uses bolt an nut. i am curious which son of bitch designed it like this
