ok, I cranked the compressor down until the spring was super compressed, then I was able to load it into the pocket and jack the control arm just enough to get the nut started on the ball joint to spindle. From there on it was not bad, but it was difficult to get the compressor out of there once I had everything tight. Kinda scary thinking about that spring lettin loose, that would not be a good thing!! But it worked, and atleast the one side is now history. Woohoo!!
