Does anyone know if these are replaceable? I removed the a-arms from my quad as soon as I got it, and of course I damaged the boot on three of the four ball joints.

Not replaceable.Pack them with grease and maybe try a little silicone over the tears.Doesnt pay to replace them till they are wore since it happens quick enough anyway.Sometime I will show you how to use a bolt and nut to break them loose without hurting anything.Alot come out with just a good tap from a brass hammer on end of arm also.

Yeah, you'd have to replace the whole balljoint. Not worth it in my opinion. I'd take 27's advice.

When we replaced my balljoints, we used a large nut under the balljoint and smacked with a hammer. We didn't have a press available.
