Remove the tri link,
bolt going through the rear ball joint has to come out, if rusted bad remove the 3 bolts that hold the bracket to the diff
That way you can get at it to knock it loose
Replace tri link if ball joint is worn so are the two front bushings as well
most of the replacement tri links are junk pretty much get one from MOPAR

Remove the bolt
and then you can use a punch and knock the ball joint out of the bracket
