    Don't you hate it when someone throws a link that they Googled at you, and don't even take the time to look and see if it covers your question?

    You will need a ball joint press, as well as a couple other front end specialty tools, as well as the usual stuff, as they are pressed in.

    Go to Autozone.com and register. You have to register, and navigate there yourself. I can't link you directly.

    Then input your info into the vehicle profile. Then click "repair info", then "view/vehicle repair guides.

    Then follow the links - SUSPENSION & STEERING - FRONT SUSPENSION - LOWER BALL JOINT

    (don't mean to yell, that's just how they have it, and I'm too lazy to not cut and paste it)

    Totally free, and it actually has the info you need, with some pictures even!

    If you buy the parts at Autozone, they will even lend you the special tools for free.
