Wow, what an all day affair. Bought the kit last June and finally got to installing it. Good kit, but a royal PITA. I ended up doing one side in 3.5 hours. Then I fell over backwards on the tire on the ground, hurt my arm, so did the other side 1 handed, still took 3.5 hours for the other side. My inserts were still in good shape, so could have left them for another year or three. Currently have a little over 8700 miles on the rig.
The only thing I can add is that I used a ground down old bolt to get the new bushings in, worked really great, they pushed out the old as the new were being pounded in.
