2wd Balljoint replacement?

Quick question guys, I have a lower balljoint going out on my 3500 2wd. The local frontend shop told me the balljoint is riveted in and that I have to cut the rivets out and bolt in a new one, but the MOOG balljoint Orielly sold me is the normal press-in style.

Anybody ran across this before? I plan on tackling it this Saturday and I want to make sure i have the right parts for the job.

Thanks,

Bowedup

My apologies, I see that I posted this in the 6.7 forum instead of the 5.9 forum. Guess I hit the wrong button!
