Help with lower ball joints on a 100 series cruiser

Looking for someone who can change lower ball joints on 100 series cruiser in So. Utah. I do all my own work usually but am looking for someone local in St. George to help me with this. I got a good shop reccomendation down here by Cruiser Outfitters but the guy is 5 weeks out he told me. Anyways, anybody down this way that has experience with ball joints. I did the upper already. Need a press for the lowers. Dealership is actually not too pricey but they will only change out the whole arm. let me know if you know of anyone, thanks.

I used a rental ball joint tool from O'reilly to change my lower ball joint on my 100. I don't recall specifically if I needed anything different from what was included in the kit, but it did work. (different sizes of tube spacers is all it might have been)

This, I did the same thing and made short work of it.

Harbor Freight, bought mine from them, works good

Did you guys have to remove the caliper and rotor to be able to get the ball joint tool in there to swap the joint?
