Moog or TRW with grease fittings are the ones I use and trust.

Do you have a 4x4?

Chillton or Haynes repair manuals have a step by step instructions for ball joints. You will need a Ball joint press. You can rent them for free at Autozone or Murrays.

All was the same except the hub, instead of beating the thing out of the knuckle with a chissel, go rent the puller, yes they make a puller to do this.
