This install isn’t bad at all. I did it with just a jack and stands. If you don’t have it, you’ll need to rent a strut compressor (kind of a duhhh, I know). I had no troubles. I loosened the top nut on the front struts before I disassembled the lower portion (mine was on pretty tight). Also, you will need to transfer the wrappers from your old springs to the new ones in the exact position. The whole thing was very straight forward in my opinion.

I thought the pulley was much more difficult. It certainly exposed my lack of specialty tools.
It definitely took two of us. We were pretty ghetto on that install. Getting the pulley off wasn’t hard, but getting the new one on was quite a bit of work (mentally and physically). I had to use a bar at the torque convertor to keep the crankshaft from spinning. I rented a pulley installer for that too, but I ended up having to fabricate a bolt from two bolts in the pulley installer kit to get the pulley on far enough to start threading the crankshaft bolt.
