Axle shafts and ball joint?

What is your question?

My outer boot is leaking,the ball joint boot is shreds.(Both may have been damaged when thew transmission was replaced recently) To put in a reman shaft,am I missing anything other than proper support of parts,remove large nut on axle end,nut on ball joint,and knock lower control arm loose? For the ball joint,is it a press fit,or can that be just knocked out too? Thank you.
