I haven't done it myself, but I think it's pretty straightforward. The FSM gives as good a description of the process as I could. For mine it starts on AX-11.

That'd be awsome :dblthumb: I'm considering doing mine this summer too since I'll be replacing nearly all of the suspension components anyway.

Impact tools would make it go much easier....but depending on how rusted your bolts are you may need a torch

Took me 3 hours to do 1 side....your results may vary :crazy:

Update, Took it off roading. Flooded the engine. Gas tank.
Put new plugs in it. Air filter. Drained and cleaned the gas tank. Started. Runs great!
