Lower Ball Joint

I am doing a rack & Pinion on my car and tried to remove the lower ball joint but could not remove so I just removed the A arm off the sub frame. When I used a Ball Joint fork grease came out of the boot. Can I have the shop repack it or do I need a New ball joint. I don't see a fitting to re- grease.

You do realize this is an engine management/tuning forum right?

Could not find a suspension and steering forum...To answer my own question I got back from shop I have two options 1) replace the ball joint 2) use a needle nose tip on grease gun and pump grease back in where it leaked out. Just to let anyone know what to do if this happen to you
