Have you pulled that rubber boot all the way off the Ball joint yet (I seen you pull at it for the pic)? Usually you will find that 'Snap Ring/Retaining Clip' hidden under the rubber dust boot/grease seal... but I haven't worked on a SunL, so I'm not sure if it's the same or not?

A BFHammer or a Ball Joint Press usually works after you find/remove the Snap Ring... start soaking the parts in Kroil, PB'laster, Liquid Wrench, JB80, Pentro 90, Acetone/ATF Mix, etc... just soak the ball joint with some kind of good penetrating oil

Then lightly grease the hole and the new Ball Joint before you install... will make installing/removing this new one much easier
