I just got done doing mine but on a 96 2wd. I used a ball joint press. Your local advance auto will loan you the press if you don’t have one. I replaced upper and lower. If your going to replace the bottom, might as well do the top as well. On mine, the top are not pressed in. They’re riveted in. If you have a grinder and a air hammer, that will do the trick.

Hope this helps.
