Yip, can be done with a press or even a vice and socket if you take enough care.

there cheaper on ebay, and id rather replace all bush/balljoints on one side for piece of mind, thats how i am 
as for powerflex youd be better off keeping one on car in that case, put the new balljoint in, then arb bush and wishbone bush would be powerflex
