How much trouble will it be to rebuild the front end?!

You might get a whole lot of work done for what those special tools would cost. Unless you plan on doing front end work regularly you dont need to invest in specialized equipment.
Between Thanksgiving and Chrisrmas there will be lots of dealership service mechanics standing around with no work. On flat rate no work means no pay. Thats the best time to get some "off paper" work done. Those guys have bills to pay a gifts to buy too. I know this because I've been there.
You will need a pickle fork and a 4 lb shop hammer. Then just take the upper arms to some good ol boy one day and the lower arms on another day. along with the new balls and bushings ofcourse.
