Attached is an image of the front end. Raise the vehicle and remove the wheel. You'll need a ball joint separator or pickle fork and hammer. Remove the cotter pin locking the ball joint nut and remove the ball joint nut. Separate the ball joint from the steering knuckle and lower the control arm. The ball joint is bolted to the control arm. Reverse the process to install the new ball joint. Have the alignment checked.
