It's a 1996 300 bayou 4x4 and I can't figure how to get the ball joint out or the bushings in the lower control arm

 

Depends on what you are removing them for. Assuming the arm is scrap and you want to save the rubber bushes, saw through the steel tube they are pressed into. Avoid going too deep and cutting into the steel outer part of the bush. The ball joints usually press out after a circlip is removed, difficult from your photo, but I think the circlip has already gone.
