    Pretty easy to install, getting the old UCAs off was another issue. It turns out the driver side ball joint was fused with the knuckle. Luckily my buddy had recently bought a 2000lb press. So we cut the old UCA bolt off above and below the knuckle. Take the whole thing off the axle, put it under the press and prayed that nothing exploding while we hold all this shit under the press. I wish i would have taken pictures of that process because one dude was holding the knuckle up (me) another guy was making sure the extension w/ allen wrench socket drive was in the right spot on the bottom of the knuckle while simultaneously holding a 1" socket above it so the piece could actually be punched through, the third guy just pumped the press. Thankfully the passenger side had no such issue and took us about 30 minutes to swap out
