DIY Rear Camber and Front ball Joints

Does any body know if there is a DIY for installing rear camber kit and front arms or ball joint?

I feel like I should have made one for both of those. That would have been helpful huh? Especially ball joints, those were a biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitch.

Rear camber is pretty straight forward. Take off two bolts holding each arm in place, remove arm, attach new arm by doing the reverse.

you don't need a special machine to "press" the ball joint in/out?

You do. I rented the ball joint press from Autozone for free. It ended up killing my oem ball joints they were so difficult to press out.

When I replaced one of my axles on my old '04 accord V6, I didn't want to wait to find a ball joint removal tool, so I jacked up the whole hub assembly, put a breaker bar handle between the control arm and the hub (you'll see), took the jack out from under it and kicked it. Worked fine. Not sure if you'd want to do that to your (much) newer car though!
