Rent a ball joint press from Autozone.
X2, I rented mine from Advance Auto and liked the press so much I bought it.
Its not a bad job but will take about 4 hours.
Pull the wheels, calipers, rotors.
Pull the diff cover and drain the gear lube
Loosen the 3 unit bearing bolts on each side and pull the axles and bearings out as one unit each side
Remove the TRE's from each knuckle
Remove the nuts from the upper and lower ball joints, I keep the lower nut on but very loose untill I get the knuckle loose.
I use 2 ballpen hammers, place one hammer on the top of the knuckle on the small flat that is there to beat on, place it ball end down. Take the other larger hammer and strike the flat side of the hammer that is against the knuckle. Keep hitting it untill it gives up. The hammer uyou are swinging needs to be a BFH! The one against the knuckle really doesn't matter.
Press out the joints, the top joint presses out from bottom-up. The lower joint presses out top-down
Good luck!
