    I bought some gear wrench and had to make them spread open further. The handles were bending they were a long one had a x in the middle and it allowed to much flex to open it

    4-5 hours with the right tools and experience if you don't have to break out the fire wrench on the balljoints. It's a project...

    That being said, Toyota axles take smaller tools but still are a messy project with the closed knuckle and cone washers

    those are actually easier unless you're replacing the cone that screws into the upper part of the C that sumbitch torques at 600 ft. lbs.
