i can take off my front shocks/springs in 15 min.

just make sure you know where you place your tools when you leave them on the ground. you can def take off the upper a-arms with basic hand tools.

12mm 14mm 17mm are the ones you wil be using the most.
^^ ^^ ^^ socket and WRENCHES will help

maybe a breaker bar will help if you have tiny muscles.

Give yourself half the day if youve never done this before. Do you research the night prior to the day u start working.

Have your tools, manual & car already jacked up with tires off ready to go at 7AM.

Make sure you mark or count the # of threads on the tie rod so this way you can actually be able to drive your car to the alignment shop. Do a search on replacing tie rods

Yes they are. Probably worht taking the hubs to a machine shop and having those pressed out and in. Don't forget the 32mm socket and an impact gun or huge *** wrench for the axle nuts.

Everything else is pretty easy and straightforward
