Take your time. Take a few shots (pictures) before you start JUST IN CASE you need to reverse it soon and have difficulties w/it. Get EVERY wrench/socket/tool you will need and keep them in reach under the car That way you don't have to get out and back under and out and back under a few dozen times.

So how'd it go? I'm putting mine on tomorrow when I wake up. Did you notice any difference on the test drive?
