I say do it yourself (unless it's your daily driver and you have to have it back together overnight!) NAPA has all of the bearings, ball joints that you need.

Thanks to all the replys! I found my manual, its a Chiltons, it has shed a little light in the subject.. Wish I had a GM Manual!
What i don't have from everything i have read is listed below with a few questions:
Spindle socket, I have seen one made out of 2" PVC but unsure about torqueing upon reassembly.
Blind puller, I have a 3 jaw puller but not sure if it will work, i'm assuming this is for the inner Hub bearing?
Upper Balljoint adjusting socket: Don't know what makes it different from a regular socket.
Ball Joint press:
PB Blaster: What in the world is this?? LOL!
This is not my daily driver, unfortunantly for me i will have to do this in my driveway as i cant get my truck into my garage, so when i do it i need to know i have everything i need before i start..
Thanks for everyones help!
