Anyone changed their own, rather than getting someone else to do it?

But for the rear ARB, everyone specifically stated you need to remove the rear wheels - which was tosh!

Anyone else?

OK, thanks for clarifying that.  So do you need the offical VAG alignment tools?  Or does it all line up again?
