Lower Ball Joints

Going blind reading posts.
Quick question.
I have a '98' E430 with a lower ball joint that has some play in it and I get a lot of vibration at 80mph on that wheel only. The lower ball joint seems to be the problem.
What is involved in replacing it?
Remove caliper, rotor, dust shield?
Support lower control arm?
And will I need a air chisel with a fork to pop it loose?

Thanks,

Steve

all u need a 22mm wrench and a big hammer, when i used to get paid to do those i'd have the pair done in about 40 mins, if u have air tools you'll be able to zap it off pretty quick.
