Its not hard at all,The fronts you just pull the caliper off, and then the pull the hub off with the rotor,and unbolted the dust sheild.And the backs all i did was remove the axle nut, remove the three bolts that hold the toe control hub on and removed the whole assembly off the car.not hard at all just time consumeing

just take the whole assembly(shock,brake rotor, caliper, A-arm, spindle) off at once, no need to disassemble all of it if it can come out all at once. you will also need the brake lines off the 5 lug to, you cannot use 4 lug brake lines. get a service manual to help to .

i went about it the hard way and dropped the whole rear sub frame along with rear end in my turbo car and put it in my 1986 base model, then for the front i disconnected the 4 bolts from the strut tower, disconnected the ball joint, disconnected the tie rod, and was on my way. you do have to swap the front brake lines. my turbo car body was shitty and the base model was in great condition with no sunroof (i hate sunroofs). just in case anyone was wondering why i took everything out of the turbo car to begin with--jeremie
