put them in the freezer tonight, then when you are ready to slide them in the will be shrunk a bit and go in easier. use a bit of dish soap on them to press them in to. air tools are highly recommended and in fact it makes pressing the new ones in really really slick.

i made the tool too and it worked great, $13 vs. $199.

you don't need to remove the coil springs either, at least i didn't, and the exhaust you can just un hang and move to the side, but be carefull of breaking any rusty spots and having a louder exhaust.

plan for it to take you about 5 hours if you dont' have a lift. but once you get done, you will feel like you can do anything!!!

good luck
