If it were me, I would take it to a mechanic.
this is fairly easy to do,,jack it up remove the wheel,,turn the wheel toward you so you can see the ball joint,,remove the bolt that goes through the joint that holds it to the bottom a frame..and cut out the rivet,s that hold the joint in,,yours may already have bolts,,some did,,some didn't,,now separate the joint from the a frame,,and remove the joint,,the new joint comes with new bolts ,,use them,,and bolt the joint back in place,,and re-install it back in the a-frame,,put the center bolt back in it,,and be sure to put a new cotter oin in it,,and the rest is pretty easy,,from here your about done re-install the wheel ,,and have the alignment checked,,and that's it,,i own a repair shop,,and do this all he time good luck with it,,i hope this help,s.
If it's like the ball joints I've changed--and I've changed a few--the problem is getting the old ball joint out. For that you need a ball joint separator, which is like a big two-pronged fork. The prongs are thin at the front, but they get fatter as you go toward the rear. You put the skinny front part in and hit the back end in with a very heavy short-handled hammer. That will drive the fatter part in, which will pop the ball joint loose. Then you just bolt the new ball joint in.
