Its a very easy job. I know there's a lot of ep'ers over there too. All you need is a jack stand, 10mm,12 and a 14, and ball joint separator. Oh and if its front or rear camber I think those are 17mm... look on here for a couple of diy will surely help.

the thing is im pretty inexperienced with this type of stuff so how long do you think it would take me to complete the job?

the main front strut bolts and rear lower strut bolts are a lot bigger than the sizes boricula listed.

if you're a bit of a n00b then you should definitely find someone with experience to help, cause chances are with you being in new york the underside of your car is going to be just as rusty and siezed up as mine was. just prepare for the worst. with someone helping you could probably knock it out in a day. without anyone helping it could take longer than that.

oh and DO NOT let your axle pop out, trust me haha

yea if you know someone tha can help you out definetly do that. the front camber bolts might actually 19" but yea dnt let your axle pop out.;.. ive done that a couple of times but can be easily put back just requires time and effort.

To prevent the axle from coming out just try not to pull it too much.. If it comes off you just have to fiddle with it and pop it back in.. It was pretty easy, maybe took about 5 minutes of messing with it the first time. Im located in Queens.. I was texting you the other day bro

It's not that bad to deal with the axles popping out. So long as you understand how a universal joint works.

[fdnyjon]

Well i am still running the stock ones on mine.. Lol so i guess its alright?
