pretty simple, with basic hand tools, once you remove the bolt holding the ball joint in the spindle, use a large screw driver and hammer it into the gap in the spindle so it spreads open the hole. then the ball joint will fall right out. you might have to give a lite tap down on the A-Arm but it will come right out, if not drive the screw driver into the gap a bit more, then just remove the 3 bolts holding the ball joint to the A-Arm and replace!
make sure you align and tighten the bolts in the A-Arm in the same spot as the originals, or this will throw off the alignment.
althought a clunking during turns and stops sounds like you could have a bad wheel Bearing Hub are you sure the ball joints are bad?
