Going to replace both thrust arms

I am going to replace both thrust arms and ball joints (# 6 and 15 on the pic below).
RealOEM.com BMW E53 X5 4.6is Frnt axle support,wishbone/tension strut
The new thrust arms came with the bushings already pressed and I also bought 2 new ball joints. I already replaced control arms on other vehicles but not on the X. Any special tip before I do the job? For example will I need a puller or fork for taking the old ball joints out? Will I need a press or special clamp to put the new ball joints in?
Thanks
