I just replaced a set again today, always a good time.
Impact tools are your friend with this stuff, if not PB Blaster or WD-40 will help get the job done for the two nuts and bolt for the control arm to ball joint, and I pry bar to pull down the control arm a tad. The slide hammer always does the trick for me tho to pop the axle out and a good hammer to snap the axle back in (keeping the axle StraighT of course) also good to put the axle nut on so its flush with the shaft and that way you hit the nut and axle shaft tip, and not messing up the axle threads. That's how Ive always done it. It is a process, but doable with patience. second set of hands can be a big help pulling the strut and knuckle out of the way. 1-4hrs depending on experience level. -------------------- st205 powered ss3 coupe
