simple job youll have it done in an hour a side. dont forget to grease everything when you get done and pack your bearings while you got them apart. good luck.

The actual install shouldn't be bad, but don't count on a complete bolt in operation. You will likely have to tweak the flexible brake lines and might have to do some grinding on the lower control arm to prevent interference with the wheels.
