Its fairly easy - with a lift! You have to get the rear end several feet off the ground to get 'em in and out.

Make sure to drop your sway bar and I would suggest you use GM flange gaskets or better.

Do a search, somewhere there is a great pictorial of the process.

If your in NE Indiana, your welcome to use my lift! Just pm me.
