I'm going to be installing my clutch and flywheel this weekend and figured since the axles will be out of the way i might as well replace the lower ball joints on my db8 integra. What's the best tool or fastest method for removing and installing these things with the knuckle still attached? I have a air hammer if that helps.

 

You can borrow the press and fittings from Autozone. Much less cursing with the right tools.

 

It CAN be done with a standard ball joint press without the Honda fittings... but it's TOTALLY not worth trying.

 

Hammer or air hammer to remove.

Ball joint press from autozone or wherever to install. You need the honda tool to press OUT...not IN.

I'd buy ball joints directly from Honda, to answer your next question.

 

So any ball joint clamp from autozone rent a tool should work to install the ball joint yeah? I'm going to use the air hammer to remove it.

I ordered the Hardrace OE replacements. I've good luck with all the Hardrace products i've used so far. And at $60 shippped for the pair of them. Why not

 

Yep. I've always just used a normalass autozone press to press the new joints in. Civics/integras/S2000's/TSX's.
