ball joint

I got a 84 F 150 XLT 2wd with a worn lower ball joint, driver side. I'm wonderin how hard it really is to change it out. I been told all i need is a BFH (big friggin hammer) but others told me i need a ball joint press. Which is true. I already got the ball joint, just wonderin what it takes.

Very easy job to do, just takes time to do it. I did a set on a lifted f-150 in an apartment parking lot. Took about two hours.
