Make sure you bungee in those hub assemblies!!! They WILL fall out of the driveshaft if they aren't held in place while you remove the strut assembly!!! You have been warned!!!:)

Pretty damn hard. Actually, at least for my uncle and I, it was pretty much impossible to fit the hub back in place without removing the rubber boot and feeling around for the connection in all that axle greese. We tried for about 45 minutes pushing and turning before we decided to pull back the CV boot - and what a mess! Finally it popped back in to our relief but man was it a pain! So save yourself the trouble and hold that sucker back from the beginnning before you do anything else!

Taf, the shop who did my install had the same problem, boy was it hell getting it back in.

Make sure you hold that hub.
