It is pretty straight forward. Do a utube search and a search here.
Use the zip tie method on the front and check my post from a few months ago for the front bolt removal and install. It makes it a lot easier and you do not need the special tool to take the top nut off.
I would plan about 30 to 45 minutes per wheel.

froggy47 and one other (starts with an e, epidicus or something like that) guy both have a good youtube video. I just did this job using those as a guide and the project was pretty straightforward. I found removing control arm bolts on the front, and tie rod ends on the rear were not necessary.
The previously mentioned zip tie method is the way to go. I did strip one of the front lower shock mount screws and it was $7 from GM, be careful!
