    you need a bolt and spacers
    see here-Land Rover Parts - Steering Drop Arm Ball Joint Fitment and Removal Tool

    I found a socket of the right size as a spacer to push the top cone out.

    I've since bought the removal tool for next time.
    I can measure it up if you like.

    The top spring clip holding the rubber boot is rather tight.
    you should be able to catch on edge with a small screwdriver and pry it up, letting it compress into the rubber, then work your way around.
    The bottom circlip is removed by compressing the bottom plate a little.
    Maybe a bottle jack with a short 3/8 extension.

    or check here.

    FYI.
    Just measured the removal tool
    Spacer for removal is 21.86mm diameter x 30 mm long

    Installation spacer is 28.44mm diameter x11.5mm long

    big washer is 43.88mm x 8.5mm long

    bolt is 100mm long ( 70mm shank/30mm thread) 1/2 inch, fine thread, hi tensile.
