Before U-tube, we used Chiltons or Haynes manuals...
or simply took the dam thing apart and reinstalled everything. So we had to use our brains...and sometimes we messed up and had to re do it.
Use your phone camera to take photos for reference before removing anything. We would've have done that back in the day, but it took a week to get the photos printed at the local Rexall or Kmart. Phones and cameras were two different devices.
I'd suggest taking the steering (tie rods) out at the steering knuckles and Pittman arm, lining up the new pieces and assembling them so the assembled lengths are as close to the old parts as possible. Then install them on the truck. That way your Caster and toe in isn't too far off.
The ball joints. Requires you to remove brakes and calipers, rotors, hub bearing assemblies, and front driveshafts. Calipers can be tied to the front springs.
Then you can start with removing the hub bearing nut...
Depending on how long it's been, you will expend a lot of cuss words. I also know that there are videos on removing the hub bearings and pulling ball joints. It's a pretty straightforward job though, and no amount of video watching can prepare you for rusted in parts or stubborn ball joints.
You'll also need a ball joint puller, and at least one or two special sockets. Air tools are extremely helpful. Patience and a 24 oz ball pein hammer are helpful.
Have fun.
