diy ball joint replacement - 1985 300td Sedan

Currently squeeks like an old couch! Just embracing the diy arena after the local mechanic quoted 3.1 hours labor for each joint (it it true???) Have ordered replacement ball joints. Any helpful hints or how to is appreciated - have searched the site. Your input is valuable - is this doable for the novice, novice, first timer?

This is not a beginner DIY job. It will require some special tools. Do not take to a mechanic. Take it to a good front end shop (like Les Scwab). A place that does front end work all the time should be able to do it in half the time - and since you will need a front end alignment anyway - The car is already there.
