I've heard nothing but bad things... I wish you and your knuckles the best!!! Do you have a few hundred different u-joints, extensions, and pivoting sockets?? Oh, and serious question... you did get locking bolts for the new ones so you don't have to go retighten them in a few hundred miles, right?

Yeah it sucks. I took 2 days to do mine. Some of the bolts are hard to get to, others just elusive due to angles and limited space.

I did mine on my back on jackstands, but fortunately we had a couple of warm days and it was in the 60s.

I did mine with my car on a lift, and it was difficult. I give you a lot of credit for tackling it under the circumstances. Good luck.
