    what do you mean by "wheel joints"?
    are you referring to the u-joints on the front axles? or the wheel bearings?

      for the front axle joints, just pull the axles out, and press out the old u joint, and press in the new. as far as removing the axles... remove the wheel, brake caliper, rotor. then remove the 3 bolts that hold in the uni bearing. this can sometimes be a pain in the ass to get free from its rusted home. you might get lucky though.
      once you get this apart, press out the old, and press in the new.
      a chiltons manual is your friend for disassembly, and reassembly of these things.
      repost if you need more info
      get a press from auto zone, or your local auto parts store
      replace with SPICER parts. dont use off brand u joints.
      this is too big a pain in the ass to do often, so use the good SPICER joints
