What have I gotten myself into?

Yep that the way I was thinking. Gonna look into being able to slide my calipers off with the wheels on too. Either that of some kind of quick release brake line in the rear.

Of course that is with the rear up in the air on jack stands and a jack under the third member to let it all com down to the ground! I just did it like that when I pulled the Rear end back out of mine a few weeks ago. Got the tires out and then unbolted the lower link bars and slid the complete rear out from under the car. Doing this stuff by yourself gets freaky sometimes!
