Patience, and a little elbow grease, it wasnt' a hard job at all.  all i can say is look at it, see how it's put together and ONLY remove or loosen that is necessary for  the job at hand...YOU DON'T NEED TO REMOVE YOUR WHOLE ROTOR AND CALIPER ASSEMBLY...2 big bolts (on the front strut)  I SHOULD MENTION THAT YOU'LL NEED A  WRENCH ON THE BACK OF THE BOLT THAT HOLDS THE BRACKET ON THE STRUT. and 3 smaller ones (under the hood) a rubber mallet is handy...for a little more elbow grease. All i can say again is TAKE YOUR TIME, and study the job prior to doing any work...

do you need a spring compressor?

Yes you do...for the fronts anyhow...if you can find a place with one mounted on the wall  this is alot safer then the other kind..as for the rears..i used a transmission jack to compress the spring. And a slight bit of compression..you dont' need to squish the s**t outta it....you do have to undo your rear stabalizer bar...notice i said undo not REMOVE....just remove the two bolts that connect the stab bar to the suspension and push it down and outta the way....it may be a bit stiff but it'll move....compress the spring slightly...and undo the bolt....release the jack slowly again it may be stuck or stick..but a crow bar or a long sturdy screwdriver with do the trick....hold on to the spring and pull the suspension arm further down the spring will pop out without  problem...take the rubber ring off the old one, put it on the new one..and install it in the reverse order of this.  PIECE OF CAKE.


how did it cost your $8 to have them installed?
