The upper balljoint is easy. Just remember to slacken off the torsion bar completely so you can actually get the bugger out! 
You might need a mate with a pry bar too as there is still some pressure on the top ball joint even with the torsion bar slackened.
Same goes for the idler. Three bolts and a joint to split. I think someone else mentioned it, but the pronged splitters you tap with a hammer are the easiest for these jobs. Took me about 10 minutes to change mine, and it takes about half an hour to change a balljoint including the faffing with the torsion bar.
