Default Installing axle backs

So how difficult is it really to install axle backs on these cars? I hear so much that the 2011+ are a pain.

Is it possible to do it without a jack and stands?

Unfortunately I sold everything tool wise except for a few things I needed before I moved to NC last year.

If it's not anyone in the Cary area care to help either tonight, tomorrow, or tuesday?

It will take about 30 minutes and it's not hard. It's only hard if you try and take short cuts. And yes you can do it on jack stands. You'll be surprised how much you can do in a garage on jack stands. I'm off tomorrow, but I'm in Raeford. I do have all the tools necessary though. If your married you can bring the whole family to my house today and do it. I'll fire up the grill and cook y'all dinner.

Yep I'm married with a little garage helper. Yeah I knew it was possible on the jackstands but I unfortunately don't have any.

I figure it can't be too hard, just more difficult than most. I installed headers and full catback on my last car.

i'll see what the misses has planned.

Well Sleeper, my wife says she isn't up to the drive to Raeford tonight, my son hasn't been the best in cooperation today either.

We can and I have room if you need to stay. Or if y'all are off work/school you can come down tomorrow and we can get it done and grill for lunch.
