so on a scale of 1-10 how hard is it, 10 bein the hardest..

ya think a 16 year old with the right tools, (and can get additional help with addional work, lol) can figure this out....saw it on the show, 'Trucks' and it looked tricky, but i guess the rear end is just scaring me lol...

so to drill to 5 lug, or replace axles for 5 lug, i gota take the old axles out by this method...

THANKS!
