What tools are needed? I have a basic set, but I know I'll need some extensions and I heard someone mention something about a "wobble bit" to get to the front without hitting the front fender.
Any do this install and can help me with a list of tools needed? besides Beer (ive got that.)

Don't even need the wobble or universal joint if you have a calibrated elbow. Basic stuff is all you need. The 6" extension will get you into the lower front nut and the 2 on the back. Just remember to install everything loosely once you get it in place and then tighten things up from the heads down.
