^^as said above, pretty easy job. Just a bit daunting first time round^^
Hardest thing would be pressing out old king pin bearings and pressing in new ones, but if you don't have a press and suitable mandrels just get local mechanic to do it for a few bucks.
Good oportunity to repack wheel bearings too. And good practice for if you ever need to replace a cv in the bush.

Just did mine, should only take a tech about 2 hours paid labour.
So any doubts just get your local to do it. not that expensive.
Unless you like stuffing around and drinking beer with your mates
