I've never fitted a set before and was wondering what they are like to do, or if there is a guide avaliable?
cheers

Nice and simple. Done the Jimny a few months back, had to buy a spacer for them though but got in done in just over half hour

Pain in the arse without circlip pliers.... I fitted mine in the freezing cold winter, in the middle of the night, after my diff exploded!

Yeah it was after a pay and pay. had to wait in a freezing cold car park with not very much heating for 3 hours before my mate could bring the hubs, then change the whole thing with freezing cold hands, putting the last circlip on with my fingers was a long and painful process lol
