if you have a napa store near you go there and tell them you want a Chilton repair manual for you car. do not get a Haynes manual Chilton is way better. you will need a ball joint removal tool if you have an auto zone near you they have a tool loaner program

This is not something someone with no experience can do, with step by step instructions.
Please don't try this at home. The tools alone will cost more than having someone do it.
You need to invest a few bucks in a good service manual. That will give you step by step directions and photos to follow. You can buy a Haynes manual at any auto parts store or buy an online subscription from Alldata or Mitchel on Demand.



You will also need some special tools--some of which you can rent from the auto parts store.



When it comes to a job like this, you're better off buying a good service manual rather than relying on step by step from here.
