well i just replaced my ball joints on my 94 F-150 and what i did was tore the axels down and pulled the brake callipers and brake disks, to get to the ball joints. un bolted the nuts and took the peice holding the ball joints in and had them pressed out at a auto shop saved me like 200 dollars. But you need a ball joint press if you wanna do it on your own.
around $ 60.00 a peice drive safe
it depends on who you buy them from and if thier used or not
the ball joints are not serviceable.
Some ball joints are pressed in and others are bolted in, it depends on your style ball joints.
Hip and shoulder are both Ball and Socket Joints
The ball joints on a Villager are actually easy, just bolt on parts, the only hard part might be getting the stud separated from the knuckle, but if you're replacing them just use a wedge and it should be easy.
