2. take off the tie rod end arm.
3. Put a stand jack under and take off the low control arm off the ball joint.
4. push off the ball joint ( I don't know if I can use the c- clamp tool
5. Use the C- Clamp to push the new ball joint in.
Any comments on the procedeure?

It's all pretty obvious when you pull the rotor and have a look.
You will need to remove the spindle in order to hammer the old ball joint out.
No need to compress the spring.
Good luck.
