I did the control arm replacement myself in my 1995 855.

1) When I tried to take the ball joint out, I supported the brake rotor with a floor jack to allow me to pry open the ball joing holder by using a 1/2" chisel.

2) You DO remove the plastic cover/sleeve (as you called it) to install the ball joint into the holder.

3) Yes, ball joint is inserted upward as the old one came out downward. No rubber mallet is needed because the holder was already pried open for removing the old ball joint.

4) No front end alignment is needed because nothing changed.
