Ball Joint?

How hard are they to change? What all do I have to take out to change them?

Remove the from the caliper mounting bracket (2 bolts), slide off the rotor,
remove the 4 bolts holding the unit bearing to the knuckle, slide the
whole axle shaft + unit bearing assy. out in one piece and your ready to
change balljoints. You will need a C press which you might be able to
get on loan whereever you get the balljoints or from e-bay, but beware
of the import junk. I hope this helps.

Thanks. I just had the front axle u-joints changed. So everything should be pretty easy to get out.

Will I need anything other than the press that I'm going to rent?
