I just recently got a 2001 tundra and need to replace the upper ball joints and upper control arms. I was wondering if this is a job I can do on my own or if I should pay a mechanic to do it for me. I have access to a lift and plenty of tools, and was wondering what the process is to be able to replace the upper ball joints in upper control arms. Has anyone tackled these issues on their own? If so, how did it go? And is it something that I would be able to do myself?

Find a video. Theres a c-clip (?e-clip?) that i've seen other folks bugger up. I helped a buddy and it went smooth as silk with a rental bj screw press and some fabricobbled spacers, but i've seen pics of people destroy their spindle. We used as little heat as possible, and probably didnt need any. But we had the spindle out. The UCA bolt might have been tricky. I dont really remember.
@bmf4069 how smooth was the uca swap?
