They were a pain in butt just to remove, got to be easier way to install.

I don't have a write-up, but I was advised to pull the axles to get get enough room for my fat hands to work in there. It's worked for me though it was still a pain because of the small size of the shoes.

I changed mine while I had the axles out for the leaking axle seals so I can't speak to what they are like to change with the axles installed. The didn't seem bad to do though with the axles out. That was on my 2000 Mountaineer.
