i have pics for the front only. I used a shop for the press out/in. Aside from that, with the right tools, it's a fairly easy job.

I never posted the pics, unfortunately. I ended up buying a ball joint separator from Harbor Freight. This is a must-have for the lower ball joint. The fork one didn't come close to working for me.

also, I rented a slide hammer, the axle puller adaptor, and i forget the other tool. ("free" rentals from Kragen/O'Reilley)

At any rate, here's a video I saw (several times) before I read the manual (several times) before I actually went out and did the work.
