How hard is it to replace the upper and lower ball joints. What tools, steps and skills are needed. I believe they are pressed in.

This is no easy task. You so need to take the front end appart down to a bear knuckle then you need to remove the knuck and then the ball joints. You will need a ball joint removal and instalation tool and snap ring pliers.
