If you choose to try this method it is at your own risk.

Leave the tire in place, put a floor jack under the control arm as close to the tire as possible. Jack the car up under the lower control arm and the ball joint stud should move into the knuckle and then install the bolt. Rotate/index the stud to accept the bolt before jacking it up.

Good luck and again this method is completely at your own risk.
