Smile How Do You Change An Upper Ball Joint?

Hello Everyone

MY 2000 CLK Has about 27k Km on the Odometer, The right Upper ball joint has some play in it, as evidenced by rocking the jacked up wheel.... Is there any info on how to replace the upper ball joint on a W 208? the Bush itself seems to be sound...What are the tightening torques. Also whether I need to use spring compressors for the job....

Thanks in Advance
