Default Upper Ball Joint replacement

How hard is it to get the original rivets out of the upper ball joints on a 99 Dakota 2wd? Both my uppers are shot, and I'm not looking forward to replacing them. Any tips greatly appreciated.

Also, parts store has TRW for around $30 (1 yr warranty), or Moog for $54 (lifetime warranty). Are the Moogs worth the extra?

Thanks

I have had good luck with Moog, but TRW is a good name. Go with the better warranty. The Moog should have grease fittings and TRW probably has, too.
