Default changing ball joints

I have to do the ball joints on a 2003 3500, are they hard to do and are there any tricks to doing them. I have already replaced the hubs wondering if i have to remove them again to do ball joints.

I just changed mine and there are really no tricks to doing them. I just rented a press from autozone. you will have to remove the hub and everything to do them. Its a pain but not that bad. As i pressed them out, i also banged on the housing a bit with a little sledge to assist in there movement.

Been through multiple sets of ball joints personally, and finally spent the big money on Carli billet ball joints and haven't had any issues in 6 years!
