Default JTIS for Wheel bearing and lower front ball joint

Hi,
While I'm trying to figure out how to download the JTIS on a mac, are there any guidelines in the JTIS for replacing the front right wheel bearing and lower ball joint?
If so, could someone please send them to me as a .pdf ?

I realize I will need to go to a machine shop to press in the lower front right ball joint. Am hoping the wheel bearing is something I can do myself. Any tips, photos or JTIS guidelines would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Napoleon

The PDF's are too big to post as attachments. I've put them on my MediaFire account for download:

Lower Arm:

The bearing nut needs a special tool and a huge amount of force to remove it.

At least two members have successfully fabricated an equivalent from steel plate.

The lower ball joint is just possible to do yourself but you will need a press or need to go to a shop to do the bearing.
