I purchased an entire front end bushing/tie rod/ball joint set for my Van. The Bentley lists several specialty tools for removing/pressing the bushings and tie rods. For an experienced weekend automotive tech how long will this take? I have a decent set of tools and air tools but no hydraulic press. Also will the front rotors have to be removed to take out the bottom ball joints? I just recently replaced the front rotors and bearings.
PS It was great to hear from some listee's in the southeast!
Thanks,
