Depends how good/confident you are with the spanners, and that you have the right spanners!

The lower ball joints at the front end can prove to be difficult to remove, you may have to damage the existing to get them off!

There are howtos in the wiki Thumbs Up .

The lower ball joint, the one pressed in the hub can be done but it's right pita to do, I have recently just changed mine, I took mine to local garage to sort as they would not budge.
The other one, ball joint pressed to the arm is an easy job, but you will damage the old one when 'tapping Whistle ' it off to change. If it dont work.......burn it!

If the IId tool cant fix it.......burn the FF.

If the FF cant be fixed......buy a Land Cruiser!

If the LC cant be fixed..............................................BUY a horse !!
