lol mate

all u need is the right sized socket (17mm I think) and a rachet to make it easy. Juts took one off...took about 5min.

As DRFTO...I install one for him last night, it didn't take long.

Wheel alignment wouldn't cost too much, $30 bucks for 4 wheels. If you haven't already, tell them to swap the wheels around .. back to front and vice versa.
