If the ball came out of the ball joint, try this.
Get a new ball joint and a fine thread tap that will almost fit in the top grease hole of the ball joint. Cut some threads in the grease hole of the old joint, then screw a bolt in the hole.
Pump grease in on top of the joint using the grease fitting and that should push the joint out.

remove strut from bike. gently heat backside of housing with torch and ball joint will come out very easy and while its still hot tap new one in. just dont overheat it and ruin your seals and magnet for your awd.
