Thanks Army. You guys are awesome....really lowering the risk of downtime associated with this job for me.

I'll have all my tools made before taking it apart. Hopefully on day #1 I can have everything removed and the bushings out. Thats going to be where all the risk is for me. After that, it'll just be that final line-up.

I am going to go to Harbor Freight and get myself a third floor jack. Ill get the nice racing one this time :-)
