There are sooo many components in the front end that can be bad. The idler, and pitman arm are very common problems

okay so i bought the Ball Joints Tie Rod ends Pitman Idler Arm cause they were bad. can anyone recomend the easiest way to replace them.. i replaced my wheel bearing assembly a couple weeks ago and it was fairly simple for me to do it. do those parts need any special tools, is it possible just to do it myself i need to save serious money.
thanks for the help
