Hard part can be getting the king pins pressed out of the axle, sometimes they're really rusted in tight. Other times they tap out with a rubber mallet...

After that you remove and replace the bushings and have them reamed or honed. Trick there is ensuring they're reamed on the same center line as each other, easily done with a reamer with a floating pilot, or simpler yet by taking them to an automotive machine shop.
