the rears are a peace of p!ss. Fronts a gits but doable.

When youve finished id lower the front wheels onto some wood or a brick. as when i lowered mine back down the car sat lower than the lowest level of my car jack lol and couldnt get it out.

I'll have mine up on the ramp at work so shouldn't be much of a problem. I've had a look and only looks like a few bolts at the top and a few at the bottom.

Well you put the torx in and a lot of the time they just spin. So if it had a nut on the attachments you could put a spanner on and stop it from spinning but it's oval shaped so you have to get some strong grippers on to stop it from just spinning.

Yeah rears are literally one bolt.

Depends what tools you have. I got a mate at my dealership to for and took about 2 hours in total. Whereas somebody on their drive will take longer.

Depends how you want to do it. Some people keep the hub attached to the drive shaft and just take the top half out but as we found then we change the wheel bearing on mine it can be quite tuff so guy who did mine took the whole shocker out with the hub attached.

Sure you will be alright.
