This is to easy to do. Order your ball joints from moog and they will come with step by step instructions. Rent a ball joint press with a 4wd adapter if applicable. Most auto parts stores let you use it with a fully refundable deposit.

Also, if you order your parts from autopartswharehouse.com, click the help button and have them give you a coupon code, then ask them for a better one.
