How much trouble will it be to rebuild the front end?!

The hardest part for me has always been getting the existing upper ball joints out of the control arm. I now have a six foot long cheater bar that I slip over the breaker bar and socket. This helps.

Even if you mark everything carefully, especially the UCA cam bolts, for re-assembly, plan on getting the front end aligned when you're done.

It is a do-able job, but one you don't want to screw up. I've learned a lot and gotten satisfaction knowing I did it myself. I've done two rebuilds with polygraphite and one with rubber. Each time, I enjoyed the improvement of the completed job for the way it made the car handle.
