Well worth it though...definately better than 450 bucks. If i did it again probably (definately) be half the time.. Axle would probably help, I didnt do that though Something else I noticed..if you have the resources available..When replacing my friends tranny we pulled the subframe off and it looked as though we could do the back bank in like 10 min! But only if you have the resources available to do that..that's my $.02 (for what its worth)

The upper alternator bolt is much easier to remove if you use extensions & get at it from the driver side wheel well. I did the alternator in my car a few weeks ago & it took me about 4 hours. I also had to fabricate a new wire clip thingy because the stupid shop that did the first install lost it. If I had to do it again, 2 - 2.5 hours on ramps only.

Go for a drive, you'll re-discover why you love it.
