W123 Ball joint replacement

I need to replace the lower ball joint in my 85 300D. I have read over a lot of articles here about some of the problems one runs into, like the difficulty of removing the ball joint itself, but I have not run across a definitive DIY step by step sequence of what I need to do, start to finish.

I am replacing my discs and pads, finished the right and when I got to the left side I discovered the bad lower ball joint. I don't want to put it all back together now and take it to my indy to do, as I am so close and think I can tackle this. Can anyone describe the steps, in sequence, that I need to do to accomplish this task? I have the hub off, as well as the dust shield. I just don't want to start taking things apart that do not need to come apart, and especially don't want to damage anything in the process.

Thanks for any help on this project.
