Go to Gary GTR1999 here on the forum. He does top quality work or will work with you on doing it yourself. This is not a job for the weekend mechanic. It takes special tools and presses and know how.

Look at it as a challenge. It's all just mechanical stuff, nothing real complicated. You need a few "special" tools but the procedures are well documented in the GM service manuals and on the internet.

I replaced the left side trailing arm on my 75 in December. I bought a new unit completely assembled and sent my old one back for a core charge. While I missed out on the fun of doing all the replacement, preload, checks, etc. I did save a lot of time by taking the old one out, and putting the new one in.
For me the time issue was the important factor. By doing this a couple of hours on the weekend would have taken me a couple of months. By taking the entire TA assembly out and replacing it took only a couple of weekends.
