Default How to replace Lower Ball Joints?

Hey guys,

Whats involved in replacing lower ball joints myself???

I know they need to be pressed in, but is there anyway i can do it myself or at least do the rest & get someone else to press them in. I would have a look through my workshop manual but I cant find it (have recently moved a couple of times and its been lost).

Reason I ask is that ford want $65ea for the ball joints then $145 each side to fit them, and I can think of better ways to spend $420. I just did a quick search on ebay and can buy them for $35odd a pair shipped to my door.

Does anyone have a how to guide on replacing them???

Cheers

Col.
