I got my rear kit installed at Les Schwab when they did my alignment. They charged me $100 for the labor. I wasn't sure they'd install parts that I didn't buy from them but they did.

I'm not sure how difficult it would be to do yourself but after spending so much time putting on the coilovers myself i was not in the mood to crawl under my car again for that.

Its not that hard, it just takes some time and you have to get an alignment after. The only special tool you need is a Ball Joint Separator .

I would suggest the ball joint separator because its really hard without it. At first I tried without one and it took several hours and I still couldnt get it off and with the separator it less then an hour.

NEVER EVER USE THIS TOOL...unless its a last resort thing or not a ball joint you're going agains. guaranteed ball joint boot destroyer.

easy method is putting/leaving the nut on the screw so that it sits flush with the end of the screw and hammer it but do not destroy the castle nut (get a reg nut and beat it up) OR

pitman arm puller....this is what you need. advance auto and autozone rent em out for free
