It's not too hard a job as long as you have the right tools to get the balljoints in and out

you might need a 'pickle fork' for hard cases of getting the lower ball joint swedge out of the lower control arm. you can usually manage with a chisle & BAH (big ass hammer) lol

I've always used a hammer to get my ball joints to come loose. Hit the side a few times and they'll come right out.
