it's really easy. just a bolt off, bolt on situation. i find it easier if u rest hydraulic jack underneath the trailing arm and when you're done unbolting just lower the trailing arm down. and repeat when putting on the rear disc brakes.

go into the FAQ section that is the sticky at the top of these forums. in there on the first page you'll find a how-to for rear disc brake conversion.

scale of 1-5 i say 2.5 to 3.. sucks cause u got to take off the exaust and shield.. to get to ebrake. this goes with no elbow room on jackstands.

i recommend marking the toe on the arm.. i used a spray can.. u can use a marker or whiteout. it wont be exact but will get ur toe close enough.

well i have it forsale.. 149.95 pickup only if anyone interested. comes complete.

yeah it is pretty straight forward once you're under the car. you don't need to pay someone else to do it for you.

its so much easier if u have a lift..hehe..but not everyone has that luxury. I did mine last year, first time I've ever done such a thing and it wasn't too painful. although i will say having a friend give u a helping hand would be nice as well..... and remember to make sure u have the brake lines that goes with the disc brakes. just jump in and do it, you'll be very happy with them after your done and they're pretty nice lookin behind your rims.
