Drill out the ball joint rivet heads and drive them out with a punch and hammer.

Have you bought the new ball-joints yet??? GM has been having problems with ball-joins on this vehicle for almost 20 years. Friend who owned a 96 replaced his twice. The second time he replaced them with a set by Moog. This set lasted more then twice as long as the OEM sets.
