Not do-able. You need to have the drive shafts out of the way before you can get to the wishbone ball joints. Not possible to get a separator tool on it otherwise. Even if you did pull it apart, you need to put a torque wrench on the ball joint nut when you reassemble. Impossible with the driveshafts still in the hub.
