Transverse link rear suspension type 44 '87 5000tq

[Swann, Benjamin R. (BSWANN)]

Haudi,

I isolated some flakyness going on with the rear suspensionin '875kcstqw to
the outer ball joint on the left rear transverse link.  I need to replace
the balljoint.  This link goes from the rear cross-member to the top of the
wheel hub, and has ball joints on both ends.

Since the ball joint was $140 and the whole link assembly including both
ball joints was $170 at the dealer, I'm going to replace the whole thing.

Is this a pretty straightforward job - any BTDT?  I'm hoping it will take me
only a few hours with no special tools, but don't want to get started on it
if it requires any special tools.  It looks simple enough in the Bently -
42.15-42.17.

TIA
