What do you need to know? Do you need a list of tools needed and torque specs? Please provide a detailed list. This repair is easy if you have the right tools. The original ball joint is riveted to the lower control arm. You will need a jack, jack stand, 3/8" & 1/2" (torque wrench, long handle ratchet or breaker bar), metric wrenches, 3/8" & 1/2" metric sockets, pliers, press or drill, drill bits, hammer and punch set (to remove the rivets). Here is a good How To video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ywh_q3BEJK4
For safety reasons please I highly recommend torquing all the fasteners. Winging it could result in a fastener loosening up or breaking from being over tightened. Please take a look and let me know if there is anything else.
If you asking then better see car mechanic.

Probably asking because they can't afford a mechanic :-(

SOURCE: repair lower ball joints
The front lower ball joints are pressed into the steering knuckle. Once the brake components are removed, the CV shaft nut and tie rod ends can be removed. Remove the front strut bolts, and the lower ball joint nut. Separate the lower arm from the ball joint. Once the knuckle assembly is off the car remove the lower joint snap ring and dust boot. Utilizing a ball joint press (should be able to rent from local parts store) press the joint out of the knuckle. Re-installation is naturally reverse of removal. I hope this helps.

You have to drill them out, it can be a real pain to.

If they are the original ball joints you will have to remove the rivets on them. The new ones should come with replacement nut and bolts. You will have to remove the brakes, and move the steering knuckle out of the way (You don't have to remove the tie rod end). It isn't difficult, just time consuming. You can do it in the driveway on stands. Make sure you have a couple hours, and a case of beer.

if you have some mechanical knowledge, it is not really difficult. It is just time consuming. Pick up a Haynes manual and they will give you a step by step with pics in doing this.

i am not going to lie to you on this. if you do not have a very good mechanical back ground you should not attemp this procedure your self because it could result in serious injury. it should be brought to a shop because they do have the right tools to do this. alot of the time ball joints are pressed in under extream amounts of pressure
