    I would invest in a ball joint puller. Definitely made my life easier when I was taking off the ball joints. They cost ~$15 or you can rent them from free.
    I found this tutorial on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-sY2azyLBuI

    Your vehicle info says 2.4l ...do you have a 5 lug Tacoma? The 5lug suspension setup is different than the 6 lug, the videos posted so far are for 6 lug Tacos.
