Default Lower ball joint not pressing

So I'm replacing the ball joints and have had a few surprises while doing the demo, like the axel nut was 30mm with a cotter pin not the 33mm and the top ball joint needed to be grinded off not bolted. I tried pressing the lower ball joint and tore the boot in the process, are there two different sizes for this year model?

New boot that tore
