I just replaced the ball joints on my Dodge Ram 2500 4x4 and it took me about 6 hours. I worked on it multiple days after work so it wasn't so bad, but I did need some specialty tools. You of course are going to have to have a ball joint press, so if you don't have one, just get it. It would be impossible to get those things out without one. Secondly the outer hub was really hard, but I just loosened the bolts and stacked sockets and extensions on the bolt and pressed is out with my Power Steering (I had the sockets between the axle housing and the hub bolt). Other than a lot of work it wasn't too bad. You just have to know what you are doing. You will save a ton of money doing it this way too. Make sure and look at your other steering joints while you are in the business of replacing ball joints. I had one tie rod end that was bad too. It really tightened up my steering and tires aren't wearing anymore. I still have to get it aligned. Good luck.

Will ball joints fit from a 2004 ford f450 into a 2005 ford f450?
Apsolutley not In 2005 ford changed the entire front end Tie rods, balljoints, knuckles, dampeners etc. In the 2005 models the balljoints are very beefy and rarely fail. It would be nice thou because the 1998-2004 model balljoints suck and wear out quickly. Sorry for the bad news. Now you know. Powerstroke57
