The hardest part will probably be loosen the nuts that have been loctited.

Try a heat gun on the nuts first, it will be a lot easier.

Without a lift, once you remove the bolts the rear end will bottom out.&nbsp\\; I'm sure there's a way you could do it without a lift, but it'd be a helluva lot easier with it.
&nbsp\\;
Plus, with the money you save not going to the stealer, you'd own the lift.

I installed the 422s on my Train about 3 weeks ago and I used a Bike lift and floor jack. Lifting the bike gives you a bit more room to turn your wrench.
