Installed Ids

Its been rainining in the N/E for 3 days so I decided to install my IDS and ez brake yesterday..I have never taken the back wheel offbut had aservice manual 36 mm socket MC jack, torque wrenchand a sick feeling in my stomach...Tire came right off installed IDS but putting tireback on was a b#tch had a friend give me a hand ..Have to say not a job for the faint of heart..Looking back I would have to say I would let dealer install after 4 hrs installtime( not incl brake)36mm socket belt tensioner tool dontthink I save much but it was a good experence..Cant wait to try it should stop raining by sun I hope...PS2hrs labor charged bydealer I would say is fair.

I don't know, I'd just as soon pay someone else to take the rear tire off. to me its too much trouble, esp getting it lined back up. I imagine you marked the axle position before you took it apart.
