You can find instructions for doing this in any half decent manual. One thing they usually don't tell you is when removing the large axle nut on the end, it helps to put a spare tire on with no center cap and with the vehicle on the ground, break that nut free before starting the job. without air tools, it's next to impossible to remove it when jacked up.

the joint is fairly easy to change. the hardest part is getting the hub assembly off. you will need a36mm sokcet for the hub nut.i had to use an 18" breaker bar to remove it.

first. i don't know why you would have ball joints in the rear end. it is not a steering axle. don't do it. your gona get hurt. take it in and let a machanic work on it. second you don't take the shocks or springs out to replace ball joints. just the wheel assembly comes off. and yes i believe there are alighnment adjustments for the rear. but i wouldn't do that at home myself. take it in.
