    It's not too bad man. Biggest pain is you have to bend the wheel well a bit to get the bolts out.... when you re-install those bolts on the TC's just put it in from the other direction and it'll be a lot easier in the future.

    After my trip with Bill Burke on the Hackeberry creek 10 mile loop, bending some random unseen sheet metal is like licking an ice cream cone!!!

    Looking forward to it, just have to pick up some tri flow and a 1/4-28 tap to clean up the threads in the arms

    Yea it's not a big deal at all. Can be helpful to have another set of hands when you do it though

    All done!
    I had to buy a 1/4X28 tap so that took a little extra time.
    Drivers bolt was a pain with the fuel lines and a damm plastic part the head of the bolt was hanging on behind the fuel lines.
    Gave up and put it back the factory direction!!!!!:D
    Feels better already.
