There was some difficulty. Mainly a tools on hand issue. The biggest thing is the need of a front end service kit for working on ball joints and tie rod ends. I didn’t bring mine with me because I didn’t know what tools JohnnyO had on hand.
I came across this spring compressor at Harbor Freight. Ya think that would work?Didn’t have proper tools to get the ball joints apart the first time. Second time I got the ball joint and tie rod end off but I couldn’t push the LCA down enough to get the strut out. For now the spacers are on a shelf waiting for me to scrounge up a spare $450 to have a shop do it. Be advised if you want to pop out the axle shaft the toque spec on the hub nut is like 212 ft. lb.
