wellll it sucks
rent a press for advance
then you take the caliper and rotor off and the steering track bar
then then hub nut
then there four lil bolts that hold the half shaft to the knuckle and there a pain in the ***
we backed them out half way and put a socket on them and beat the hell out of it then put a chiseal in betwenn in and beat on it some more the whole thing eventulcally comes out
then take the bolts off the ball joints and press the old ones out they may take persuading with a hammer but they wilkl come out
then press the new ones in and bolt everything back together
might want to use some anti seize on the bolts and stuff for the future
oh and get lots of pb blaster your gonna need it
have funnn

If I remember right I took the half shaft out and then removed it from the steering knuckle, then you can really see what you're getting into and how to go about it. I did use some sort of WD, or lubricant like he's talking about but I didn't have to do anything with a chisel and hammer like he's talking about.
I was thinking the Hub Nut was 1 1/4" but I can't be positive on that. Oh and you'll need a 3/4" drive rachet, or impact because that nut if it hasn't been removed recently can be a tool buster.
