Front lower ball joint……press fit

My recent mot gave an advisory for slight play in the right lower ball joint.

I know the usual repair is to replace the control arm but has anyone just replaced the ball by pressing in a new one?

I don't think they are replaceable on the standard arms - they are on the Meyle HD ones though.
