Tis a bit of a PITA but as long as you have all the tools/extensions listed in the how-to, it's easier.
Hardest part is getting the nuts off the studs. They are hard to get at, that's where the extensions come in. Odd angle to work in, it's a pain to get the extensions on but it's doable. Same goes for the re-install.
We didn't drop the sub-frame nor did we remove the alternator.
PB Blaster is your friend. Since this is your first time, take your time. Make sure you have a few days for this project, spray everything with the PB the night before you start, give it another shot before you actually start wrenching.
The first install took us about 11-12 hours, but we were in no hurry. Our second install went much easier and now we are going to be installing a third set.
The best advice I can give you: Review the how-to!, have all the parts that you need available, have a friend lend a hand, and take your time.
Not the easiest but you can do it with some
patients and time. You'll be pretty happy once it's done and you fire the car up.
Plus, you will have pride in knowing that you did the work yourself.
Good luck! We're here to help if you need us.
