It went quickly, thanks to the HP Autowerks tool. Extraction straightforward. With impact wrench, ziiiiiiiiiiip. Wasn't a same day thing as I worked on it sporadically - have a full plate elsewhere.

Positioning the bushings to go in was a little persnickety. Particularly the forward bushings, but once started, it was simply a matter of turning a nut.

Part of it was done with a ratcheting box wrench, you'll see if you get into it.

Not hard! Flows well! Rent the tool!

Can fab a tool, but scrounging & cutting parts per another post on this board makes the <$60 rental an insignificant expense. That post exists because OP couldn't get the HP Autowerks rental - they were all out....
