Nope, the Pass Side is easy, just remove the air box and remove the 2 bolts, the driver side bolt that is towards the front is also easy, the back drivers side bolt you will need an extension and a Universal connection to get a better angle then go in from the front of the Jeep rite where the front driver bolt is. I dont remember if you need to remove the battery. I can look after work and tell you

To pop the ball joint, just smack the part of the knuckle the ball joint goes in to to release it....

so i attemtper this today but failed.... that rear driver side bolt is a real pain... i figured id start there... good thing too... i cant figure out how to get the socket on it and have enough room to actually turn the ratchet... i can get the socket on it but i never have any room to really move the ratchet... i feel like the steering rack or abs pump are in the way.... any suggestions or explanations on what to do... even pics would help... anything really lol

I used an Air Ratchet but there was still VERY LITTLE room to actually manually crank it.

U-joint and a long extension is how I did mine. It was still a PIA, but it worked.
