First time doing this, luckily I had a friend help me. I started at my house with manual tools. CV axle and rotor were seized. Took forever just to get them off. On the other side, though. Did it at his place with air tools. Saved SO much time.

Had to replace the thermostat for a long-ass time. I finally did it today and it took me maybe 30 mins and I didn't take apart half of what everything I was reading said to. The bitch of it all is just draining fucking coolant from the lower rad hose which is positioned just above the frame rail, so you can't get a funnel or anything in front of it. Coolant fucking everywhere.
