I think I was talkin to you online about it. Its really easy to do, its just a lot of work. I can walk you through it step by step if you want to tackle it yourself. Aside from your basic tools, heres the special tools you may need:

Engine crane
Impact gun (not nessecary, but it will make the axle nuts much easier)
Torque wrench

yeah i have a compressor at home with an impact wrench and i can rent a engine hoist for 30/day! For a newbie how long u think itll take??

For a noob... Id say 2-4 weekends. Maybe less if youre mechanically inclined or get a buddy.
