It's not bad in the sense that you'll have busted knuckles and be worn out. It's just time consuming. If you can leave your truck in the garage for about three days or better yet four, there is nothing hard about it. Just treat it as a marathon and be prepared to use a plethora of sockets, extensions, and wrenches of all shapes and sizes. There are some tight spaces you'll have to get to, but as far as the difficulty, I had not real issues. I referred to Rookie's How To: thread and just prepared myself for a long process. Of course this could be sped up with some help. GL
