It's not very difficult at all. Getting the nuts loose is the hardes part of the whole job. Air tools are your friend. One word of caution... make sure you take the bolt ALL THE WAY OFF of the ball joint before breaking the ball joint loose (you can thread it back on if required for smacking it to get it loose). Other wise, the joint can turn and you'll play hell getting the nut off and the effort will ikely leave you having to replace the joint.
