Actually the upper one is the easiest, Jack up the vehicle, remove the tire, remove the nut on the end of the ball joint, sometimes you have to cut the nut to remove it. I have found at this point it easier to cut the rivets off the top of the balljoint (the new will have bolts) using either a chiesel and hammer or an air hammer, using a ball joint seperator separate the joint from the steering knuckle at this point you shoud be able to pull the ball joint straight up from the A-arm just reverse the procedure making sure to use all the new attaching hardware and be sure to torque everything to spec's

How do you change a ball joint on a Ford Ranger?

It depends on the year, and whether it's 2WD or 4WD. I suggest entering your question again with the year. People have posted answers for specific year models. All Ford Rangers from 1993 to 1997 have "I-beam" front suspensions as opposed to the upper and lower control arms that most vehicles have. There is a detailed answer for replacing the upper and lower ball joints for '93 through '97 Ford Ranger ball joints at the question: "How do you change ball joints on 199X Ford Rangers?"
