Hmmm, did you try a yet, this has been covered a million times B4


It's pretty easy:
Get some spring compressors (the kind that go on the inside of the spring), and separate the spindle from the ball joint. Comes right out, replace, put back together.

Now there is a little more to it than that, but if you do a search, you'll get some more details
