Will I need any special tools to swap out the old ones?
Just some deep sockets. If I remember correctly the pivot bolts are 21mm as is the strut to control arm bolt. Ball joint is 19mm. You'll need to drop the front crossmember - there is a bracket holding the transmission cooler lines on the crossmember - 12mm bolt.
If the stud spins on the balljoint you will need to use a box wrench and another wrench to hold the stud to loosen the nut.

Remember to clean and grease the pivot bolts before re-assembly.
Hope this helps.
