it does seem abit costly though, for me anyway. but i may consider it. some folks love the autmatic hubs. I do to but, i hear manual hubs are more reliable.

they are much more reliable. it took me about an hour and a half to install them, and being i have never installed hubs before.
while you have the autos off and the hub assembly apart, its a good time to re pack the wheel bearings.
the only real tools you will NEED are a torque wrench and the special 4 prong socket for ford manual hubs. other then that you should have everything in your garage.
