Message to do this job, especially if you haven't done it before.

If you really want to save yourself some time find a local machine shop that you can take some of the easily removed parts to and have them pressed out for you. I did this on my tension rods. Paid the guy $10 and old ones were pressed out and new ones in, in 10 minutes. Even if it would have cost me $30-$40 would have been well worth it for the time and headache savings.

I recently replaced the rear ball joints using rented press tools, lots of hand tools and some ingenuity. Search replacing ball joints for more info. In any event, if you choose to go beyond replacing the tension rods, steering rack, and sway bars I would prepare for the possibility that it could take much longer than you expect and that your car might not be drivable for awhile if you run into a snag.
