How i did mine...

Balljoint on the hub: lower the car onto an axle stand placed under the subframe. Use a 6' pry bar, pointy end jabbed into the axle stand, and a small ratchet strap between the arm and the bar to pull the bar into the air. Jump on the bar and the balljoint should pop out.

Rear bush: 18mm bolts, bit of a pig to get to, but OK with a good variety of spanners and socketry. ISTR the deep-offset ring was one that did it.

Balljoint on the subframe: (Assuming you're changing the whole arm) I've never found a splitter that fits.. Lower the car and support it by the balljoint's pin sat on an axle stand. A couple of swift blows to the /side/ of the subframe with a copper mallet was enough to release the taper.
