Default Ball Joints....DIY Project????

Hello:

I need to replace my ball joints. Is this something I can do myself or do I need to go to a shop? I know we need to get an alignement after, but I was just wondering about saving the labor costs.

I'm pretty handy with the wrenches and have a good amount of tools.

Go rent a ball joint press from AutoHoe.
