Lower Ball Joint

I have a 2012 TL SHAWD Advance. I'm getting ready to replace the front upper ball joints/control arms that are bad. I was going to inspect and possibly replace the lower ball joints while I'm in there and have everything apart. I can't find a single video online about these. There's numerous for the 3G TL, but I can't find anything for lower ball joints on the 4G. Are these any different?

You can download the factory manual from this website. That has all the necessary steps/torque specs, etc

Also, buy your parts from a Honda/Acura dealer. Aftermarket parts shouldn't be trusted.

Thank you for the reply. Where can the manual be downloaded? I don't see it on the sticky threads. And yes I always use OEM parts.
