Here is the deal.
1.) You need to remove your brake caliper and Hub Wiring
2.) Remove swaybar end link
3.) Remove nut and dislocate upper ball joint
4.) Remove 1/2 shaft
5.) remove nut from lower ball joint
6.) Use pickle fork and and insert it from the rear side of the truck, pound it in. Put a cheater pipe on it and proceed to pry up untill your bend your pickle fork while simultaniusly popping the joint loose. Carefully pull the knuckle away from the controll arms.
7.) use the ball joint press to remove the old and install the new.
8.) Do steps 1-6 in reverse.

Old thread but I'm hoping I can get a couple answers.
Do you need to use the ball joint press mentioned in this thread or will a universal type from Autozone work?
Any notes or special tools on removing the half shaft? I've watched some youtube vids and didn't notice this being done.
I'll be doing hubs at the same time if that matters any..
