Outerball joint?

Outerball joint?
I have one ball joint that is worn and it appears from reading here and other sites that it is non-serviceable. My local parts stores list and carry the ball joints though.
I had an 86 Porsche 944 Turbo with non serviceable a-arm ball joints but folks figured out how to change them by grinding out the epoxy that covered the retaining clip and was able to remove the clip and press out the old ball joint, press in the new one and it's new clip and then re epoxy. Instead of buying a $350 a-arm, most people started buying the ball joint for $40 and rebuild their own.
Is this possible with the 96 850 joints or is it really and truly non serviceable?
