I'm quite a ways from IL. I live in northern NJ. The more I think about
it, I don't think I'll have too much trouble doing it myself. I rent an
apartment on a farm and I think they have some jacks stands and stuff I
could use. I can also ask my future father-in-law for help if I run into
trouble.
I think if I have buy anything it may be a deep socket or two, a breaker
bar, and a big can of WD-40. I have to find my torque wrench. I'm pretty
sure it's ft/lbs and not in/lbs. I'll be crossing my fingers. :)
So when I jack the truck up, I want to lift the body, not the axle,
correct?
