It's great that people follow up with conclusion. Thanks for that and the links in your earlier post.
What was the hardest part from your experience? Did you remove the knuckle from lower control arm or did you remove the tie rod and stab bar link?

The hardest part was physically getting the the end of the shaft out, it took a HELLA lot of strength, and I'm not a weenie.....i had to pull like an MF, it was intense....but it took me, someone who had never done it, about 6 solid hours to do one day, so i look at it as paying myself about $200 per hour and it's been going like hell for 10s of 1000's of miles....it was tough but not hard to understand or do, except for the exploding testicles....
