Advice wanted on replacing ball joints

So I too the beast in for a rotate and balance. I asked the mechanic to check my front suspension to see if I had any loose parts. He showed how loose my left side ball joints were. So I need to replace them. I am pretty sure it's also why my camber is 6* off. They are LOOSE.

Any advice? Parts, tools, tricks, etc., would be great.

I know they have to be pressed on and off, but what's the best tool?

What's the best part? It's an 85 and my daily driver and some moderate off-road. It has a 3.5" Superflex RE lift, 31" tires. D-30 axle.

Any place on the web that has instructions?

Thanks in advance.

I'm planning on replacing my ball joints this weekend. Before I parked my jeep I was getting some bad clunking noise during hard cornering. I know the ball joints are bad and their the last moving part in my front end I haven't replaced. Maybe I'll take some pictures and post it. The parts I have are the spicer professional grade ball joints and a ball joint tool from jegs.
