Spindle and hub removal is a 10 minute job if you have the right pullers and sockets. All can be rented from AutoZone. Ball joint is fairly easy to get out with a 10lb hammer. Its not is you don't have one tho. Trust me, I gave in and borrrowed one after 3 days trying to pound/press it out with pipe wrenches, regular hammers, and the autozone press... To press it in, get a breaker bar and cheater pipe, and another pipe to hold it in place (with the other end of the pipe under the tire of your car)
