If your confident enough with a couple of spanners I would give this a go yourself. Changed mine a couple of weeks ago, its held in with a pinch bolt that goes through a grove, not press fitted. I managed to hammer mine out fairly easily and was fortunate enough to have a ball joint splitter to make life a little easier. Did the job in about 40 mins.

as above. if its the lower balljoint connecting hub to wishbone its easy. have recently had both mine out and top tip is give the wishbone a good whack if you aint got a splitter. alloy or steel, both the same technique. 50 notes saved.
