Didn't have any real issues with the install other than the ball joints I selected, don't use the Teraflex ones. LOL
If you haven't ever had the hubs off, you can use the steering as a press to help push the hubs off using a deep socket on the hub bolts and having someone gently turn the steering wheel (with the engine off). I had the bolts out about 1/2 inch, may need an extension on the socket to reach the inner C for the press to work.
Anti-seize is your friend when putting everything back together.
