IE not Autozone !!! call around the local parts houses. You may pay a bit more for the part, $11 is definitely on the low side. I don't know if advance will do this for you.
The shop i used charged about $6 -10 per side to do this some time ago.
Yes you use a press and spacers to press the old one out and press the new one in. So its two separate set up and press operations.
Good luck.....

Advance had the tool that I rented for free. Seemed to work. My problem was the threads turned when I turned the bolt. I cut it off, then used the press and it worked. When I put the new one in, there is probably 3mm of space between the bottom of the ball joint to the arm. It's as tight as I could get it. Seems better now. Now I'll probably to back to sears and see if they can align it now. Thanks for the tip. This one wasn't so easy...
