Replacing Front Lower Ball Joints?

[HighTech]

Hey guys,

Just wondering if anyone has a DIY or step by step w/ pictures or a video on how to change the front lower ball joints on a 1999 Accord EX. I already bought them and I don't have enough money for the whole control arm with the joint so its what I have. How do I do it? What tools would I need? How difficult is it and how long should it take?

I plan on doing this on Thursday so thanks in advance.

balljoint press is what u need. you wont have enough room in your fender well to do it so you need to remove the control arm thing and then do it. its time consuming. i still need to do mine -__-

You have to take the whole knuckle off, to replace. then take off locking pin, if the old ball joints have them, them hammer the old one's out.
