There is another video I found that had good information. I'll search and post a link to it too.

I've watched the video about 5 times. I have a note book with a tear down sequence written down. I've checked my parts spreadsheet carefully. I should have all major parts needed. Any more parts needed will be because we broke them or found unseen damaged parts.

We have access to a hydraulic press. I'll go ahead and order two front Timkin bearings. The front a arms, ball joints and thrust arms are new. Those parts will come off easily. My concern are tie rod assemblies. I have replacements for them too.

My helper is a better mechanic than me. We have access to tons of tools. I'll take pictures to post.
Order FAG bearings. Timken will either be FAG or generic. You don't want the latter.

I may have to give up and do this job on jack stands myself. I don't think my friend's lift is going to be available anytime soon.
