I HAD TO REPLACE ONE OF MINE BUT IT WASN'T TO BAD, YOU'LL NEED A BALL JOINT SPERATOR TO BUST THE BALL JOINTS OUT UPPER AND LOWER "IT MAKES IT EASIER". TRY NOT TO RIP THE RUBBER BOOT ON THE BALL JOINT. I DID AND SUCKED TO CHANGE. OTHER THAN THAT IT WAS JUST LIKE CHANGING BEARINGS IN WHEEL HUB. PULL THE SEAL OUT "REPLACE" THEN PULL THE BEARINGS OUT. THE NEW BEARNINGS SHOULD BE SEALED. BUT IN NEW BEARING, TAP SEAL BACK IN AND PUT BACK TOGETHER. GOOD LUCK.....

WHAT'S WITH THE ALL CAPS?!

i just did both of mine in the front about a month ago..you don't need a ball joint spreader or whatever that thing is....i used the hydralic jack from my truck... i took off the wheel and set the knuckle down on a block of wood. put the jack under the top ball joint thing and starting jacking it up, gave it a tap with a small hammer it it popped out, mine was shot and all the balls bearings came falling out.
