I was wondering how I would change the lower ball joints on my car? Any helpful tips or tools without an air compressor I can use to make it easier?

You need a ball joint press. There's nothing that requires compressed air. Air tools just make the job faster, that's all.

Both. It's a press-fit. If you understand the procedure, you can often borrow the tool from an auto parts store that borrows or rents them.
